In the Meantime: Thanking God

Thanking God

William's always been interested in prayer. Tonight Eric was late for caregroup, so he prayed quickly at dinner. William wasn't satisfied and took Eric and Lily's hands to pray again, so Eric suggested he offer the prayer. William prayed, "Thank you food, thank you food, thank you food, dkdkdkdka, aahh-men." After a couple repetitions, Lily wanted a turn. "I'll have to tell Brian [our caregroup leader] I was late because we were having a prayer meeting at home," Eric joked.

This Time Through

Mark: Who is this Jesus who makes the issue His own diety, yet heals in secret? who has biting critiques for the pious of the day, but welcomes the sinners and children with open arms? Who is this Jesus who controls nature and sickness and devils and death yet submits Himself to torture and humiliation? Who is this Jesus who goes about predicting his own death and resurrection, and then shocks everyone by actually rising again? Who is He? Is He the Jesus I worship?

Matthew: I feel like there's more to Matthew, but after two times through, I think I need to move on. Sometimes as you continue, it sheds light on what came before. I'm hoping the other gospels help do that.
