The Ultimate Gospel

The husband got Johnny Cash's "Ultimate Gospel" album in the mail today. We are listening to it for the first time after dinner while eating brownies and ice cream. We get to the song "It Was Jesus," which starts like this:
Well a man walked down by Galilee, so the Holy Book does say,
And a great multitude was gathered there without a thing to eat for days.
Up stepped a little boy with the basket. "Please take it, Lord," he said
And with just five loaves and two little fishes, five thousand had fish and bread.
"Katherine," I say, "What is he singing about?"

"The Mystical Supper," she says.

Something tells me the theology is sinking in.
