Sunshiny afternoon
Jesus fed the multitudes on loaves and fishes, and many see miracles in his capacity to gather up more leftovers than he started with. One might also explain this as the church potluck effect.
Each churchgoer attending the potluck brings a dish large enough to feed his party. At the end, you gather up the leftovers -- usually more than you need to feed everyone at the potluck. No veteran potluck organizer feels surprise when this happens, though he may continue to believe in the miracles of the loaves and fishes.
Our barbecue today finished with more grilled meat than a church potluck. Luckily, we had sunny weather after a week of rain. Good thing we have a large freezer.
