“Parsnips are for poor people.” I have to laugh whenever I hear that phrase because it’s actually on a plaque in my daughter’s home. It was a gift to her from from one of her friends who evidently doesn’t like parsnips as much as she does. However, it's true that by the sixteenth century, parsnips had become a staple among the poor in Europe. Nevertheless, they're actually quite tasty. There are some who feel that Christianity is another one of those things that's for poor people. However, they're actually right! But it has nothing to do with what's in your wallet or bank account.
