Yesterday a member of the congregation indicated that she thought I looked like Neil Diamond. The fact that he is 10 years older than me did not do much for my ego. But it reminded me of a similar comparison while I was a student. I was in a church for 4 weeks doing a summer placement. After the first Sunday a member of the congregation mentioned that she thought I looked a bit like Rabbie Burns. She had just got a book out of the library about the great man.(I was thin and dark haired in those days). The following Sunday she apologized profusely for having made the comparison. By then she had read the book and learned about his life! I am not sure about either comparison but if I look at the two pictures perhaps I can see just how I have aged.
