Church Tales

In the future I hope to do a number of church tales. I will never state if these tales are true or false. You'll have to figure that out on your own.
Pastor De Hollander was giving a sermon to his congregation. As an example he was talking about Jacob's wife Rachel. He was talking about her funeral and burial. During this example he felt the sudden need to explain and reassure the congregation that before they buried her Rachel was indeed all ready dead.
