God’s great wisdom makes sure the bodies of His Special People are not preserved – Elijah, Moses, John The Baptist, Jesus, Paul, etc – to prevent the bodies from becoming objects of worship even though we know no one would ever do that.“Goin ninety and I ain’t scarey! I’m protected by the Virgin Mary on the dashboard of my car!”

I remember hearing about a tourist who sees the head and says to the tour guide, " Well my church has the real one. This one is smaller than that one. The tour guide says, “He was younger then.”

The guide said “And, here we have the head of John the Baptist.” One of the tourists asked “But I saw the head of John the Baptist when I in Rome. How can that be?” The guide answered “That is his head from when he was a teenager. This is his head from when he was an adult.”
