It’s February 4, 2023. Welcome to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (U.S.).
Today’s word is “least.”
Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.
Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Please check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, please manually add your link in the comments.
And be sure to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this prompt. Show them some love.

ODE TO LEAST
Silly keeps you sane (yep)
At least that’s what I’m told
Also halts the aging process
Stops one getting old
So I’m told Fan……

This came from a major eponymous Christian magazine (what could be read from a search-result list) and I don’t delve into Christian venues… yet appreciate that the author (a man in Maryland) didn’t do what some others can’t resist: didn’t narrow down to Christians in terms of who should be considered as worthy of consideration for justice: Matthew 25 gives few clues as to who “the least of these” are. They’re described only as hungry, thirsty, homeless, naked, sick, and imprisoned.
‘When the Son of Man comes … will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people …’
Appealing to national leaders, says not: “will be gathered all the ‘denominations of churches’” — nor, more importantly, “will separate the ‘churches’ or ‘denominations’” or even “‘diocese’” or whatever a better word is for somebody’s idea of a global one true Church that distributes salvation.
I am of surety “the least of these” is not the equivalent to who is hungry (and so forth in the larger context) but a subgroup among hungry fellows, furthering degree or inclusiveness thereto; mentioned for emphasis or clarified meaning — and, in this, I have diverged from the article.

I may not agree with every word of this (other) article, but it’s a decent presentation for the chapter of Matthew referenced. The part I was talking about is far to the end. Yet I enjoyed reading the whole thing, today, and found that the reason for the sheep and the goats occurred to me (while it has never been explained in my life… and I skimmed this, therefore, don’t think it was explained here either).
