Ann, ? ? ?
Hmmm...
I'm surprised the Times published this article being the liberal paper that it is. I basically stopped receiving the Times at home because of their liberal bent. I do read it online regularly.
Love, Peter Ω
Not sure why I haven't lumbered on to your blog before but glad that I remembered to look for it. Now...how to get you to write more.
This Times story really grabbed me. One must really engage with the teachings, stories and words of Jesus recorded for us. It isn't all spelled out in black and white as clear rules chiseled into stone. Now, I have to say that the Jewish people have spent all this time developing the Midrash, trying to figure out what Yahweh meant in the Law...in other words, it wasn't all black-and-white to them, either (for example, what does it really mean to "work" on the Sabbath? Does it include flipping a light switch in the 21st Century? If my TV is on, can I leave it on all day on the Sabbath? If so, can I change the channels?) But the overall idea that we may be stretched by what Jesus left us with, forced to engage with the words, think, apply them to our lives in a way that allows Him to transform us...this author brought out that point and actually developed it to some extent. So surprising. So refreshing.
And Bill--thanks for lumbering through some of this blog-pile. I'm always happy to write more. It's just that pesky lack of time issue I struggle with. I do wonder what might belong here in this blog. I've posed that question formally and only received one reply. Do you have thoughts on what this contemplative mom should be writing about?
