Poor Goat

What you cannot see in this photo is a goat being stripped of it's skin behind the man preaching. I'm sure if I lightened it this picture would make a lot more sense.
Funny things happened in Rajasthan.
1. Before this meeting Suresh, our mission director, was asked to pray for a goat. He assumed* the goat was sick. He prayed a good 5 minutes for that goat's healing; he bound satanic spirits, he cast off curses. I, however, knew that we were having goat for dinner after the meeting, which Suresh did not. Poor goat was just getting prayed for because he was about to be slaughtered for our dinner. Suresh had a good laugh afterwards - me too.

The funnier thing was, the lady next to me leaned over while the goat was being slaughtered in front of us - right behind the man preaching and said, "We just prayed for that goat and now they've killed it!"

I told Suresh that at least the goat was healed and delivered before he breathed his last.

*We all know what assume spells: ass u me

Shoulda known it was you Charisse. :)

I'm not much of a mutton eater (as a witness of it's death or not. I do watch my chickens get killed and chopped up tho - which is a whole other story), but we were served mutton four times in 4 days. It was obviously the meat of choice...
