Beyond the mark???

OK, so now it's my turn to give this a go . . . Tricia gave me permission!

Over the past few months I've been building up my collection of leather & furs for my work as a leatherwork merit badge counselor.  With the scouts I've had a blast making coonskin caps - yes, Daniel Boon style, the real deal.  Over 20 different leather traders, craftsman & taxidermists have donated samples.  My collection now includes over 50 different items like fox, buffalo, elephant, kangaroo, skark, rattlesnake, etc.  (see  www.coonskincap.blogspot.com)  

Katelyn's teacher invited me to her class to learn about animals along the Oregon Trail & I brought a bunch of furs & skins.  We've showed the cousins & neighbor kids.  One nephew slept with the grizzly bear skin one night when he visited.  Another night our friend's son slept with the super wild & fuzzy musk ox hide.  And Natalie loves to play with the wolf tail!

However, on Sunday I wondered if my little collection had gone beyond the mark!  I taught Katelyn's class on Sunday and we discussed the 10 lepers.  Katelyn explained the story in her own words;
"Well, Jesus went to a village and there were 10 leopards.  Now, these were NOT the leopards with fur, but they were the leopards with yucky skin because they were really really sick.  And Jesus healed them and only one came back to say thanks."
