I think this post puts those two things into proper perspective and order of priority.

I think He mentioned it to show that there was nothing "catastrophic" going on. (as opposed to today when we are all caught up in "End-times Fever", running around like a bunch of Chicken Littles, hollering that the sky is falling) I think that passage was meant to show that the people were...

Not really. I think they were Methodists — not my thing, at all. And besides, the church we were attending at the time was even in another city.

No, I was helping with the breakfast we were serving at our own church.

This might give you some idea of the appeal it held for millions of us:

You have got to be kidding! That was nine years of the best shows ever on TV.. They rerun them every day on ISPN cable network...
