Laney and the Cross

Ailsa has a very nice necklace with a lovely cross on it. Laney likes to wear it sometimes. Last Sunday Laney wore it to Church. Mormons don't commonly wear the cross. It's looked at as something that borders on idolatry and perhaps the sole domain of the Catholics. I expect there may have been some members a little scandalized or at least puzzled on Sunday, especially since I am the Bishop of the ward. We kept trying to tuck the cross into Laney's dress only to have her insist on removing it again and again. She was also wearing a scarf around her neck. Finally near the end of the worship services, she removed the scarf and muttered something about there not being any vampires around. Apparently, she was adamant about displaying the cross as a deterrent to the undead.
