Hmm - I'm actually not sure. It does remind me of a true story with my dad, though. He's taught in our church for over 30 years and has taught Confirmation for the last 10 years at least. One Sunday, a few years back, Dad was supposed to be giving a quiz on the concept of Grace to his students, and he'd actually been having trouble with kids either not showing up on quiz days or showing up completely unprepared. Well, the night before, he'd had either a fire or an ambulance call or something (he's a volunteer fireman and an EMT), and he's just a really busy guy, so he never had a chance to sit down and write the quiz. So what he ended up doing instead was printing off the answer sheet to the quiz he'd done the year before - questions and all - and then handed it out to the kids, each test marked with 100%, explaining to them that Grace is receiving what we don't deserve. I thought it was really cool.
