I came across this apocryphal story of Jesus the other day:

One day Jesus was walking through Galilee and came upon a little girl who was crying. He leaned down to her and asked, “Young lady, what is wrong?”

She said, “My doggy was run over by a cart. He’s hurt so bad!”

Jesus saw the dog and touched it. The dog was healed and the little girl rejoiced.

A little farther down the road Jesus came upon a young boy crying and holding his leg.

“Little boy,” Jesus asked, “what’s wrong?”

“I was playing with friend and fell into a ditch. My leg hurts so bad!”

Jesus touched the leg and it was healed. The little boy rejoiced.

Later in the day as Jesus came into a village he saw a little boy sitting on the family’s doorstep weeping uncontrollably.

“Little boy,” Jesus asked, “what could possibly be wrong?”

The little boy replied, “I’m a Vikings fan!”

And Jesus sat down and cried, too.
