Madonna Of The Trail

As a Catholic person, the term Madonna has a very specific definition. This is not it. Kansas City, my home town has a Pioneer Mother statue. I have never confused that statue for Jesus Christ's mother.nnI guess I was expecting the Virgin Mary or a certain pop sensation from Detroit.nnThat said, beautiful statue.

Obviously I am far too Catholic as I was excited to come here today and commune with the Madonna. First, I thought how sweet it was for there to be a representation of the Holy Mother as a pioneer. Then I wondered who the second child in the statue was. Finally, it dawned on me that there is a difference between a madonna and the Madonna.

Well, it's a statue. I guess it's just dandy as far as statues go.
