Of course, me a reread and see say me did write "changing the wine into water..." when it is indeed "changing the water into wine!" Still, at the rate we are going with our abuse of the environment, we may yet arrive at the time when de good Lawd will have to do de miracle in reverse!

For example, last Easter Sunday at St Stephen's Anglican Church in Calgary, I preached the homily for the main service, that is, after we had read the whole of DE MAN as part of the Good Friday service. The sermon, which was very well received, was based on the insights to be offered by translating the story of Jesus's first miracle, the changing of the wine into water, into patwa. My translation, my insights. I'm hoping that before I die I can tackle many more of the Gospel stories for the dimensions offered when they are put into the creole.
