Welcome back from Alaska! I really appreciate your insight into the biblical text. As those who attempt to follow Jesus, it really does become quite counter-cultural.
Dana, Your sharing this morning helped me to decide that I would rather preach from Mark this coming Sunday, rather than James 3! I can identify with both Jesus and Peter. Getting Older, makes the thoughts of my own life ending more prevalent in my day to day experience. Becoming 75 last July, more than the death of Mother 3 years ago and more than realizing that I am now the oldest person in my family of Origin, has brought to my daily thoughts that my life on this earth is now short! This is a new experience for me and I keep telling my daughter she cannot continue to not decide about getting married or having children, if she wants me to be here for her! Despite the fact that her boyfriend's mother passed unexpectedly, last October, I don't feel like I am getting through to her. I recognize that her life perspective at 35 is much different than mine, but it still feels frustrating.
Your insight on the passage in Mark was very helpful! Thank you!
Your article today was like a well-aimed arrow into my struggling heart.
