We know how powerful our tongues can be!! Do our words and our actions reflect who we really are?

Honestly, what are we supposed to make of Jesus flat out insulting this woman? We know the bible is really, really old. Who is the actual protagonist of this vignette? Would it be truly scandalous if Jesus learned from and was changed by this brief encounter?

Jesus…insulting people? Not only insulting people but also being kinda grossly unsanitary? That can’t be right, can it? Yet it seems to be the case. What really raises Jesus’ ire in this story?

How do we embody our faith in Jesus so that we live in a way that could keep on living, abundantly, eternally?

What do we do with such uncomfortable readings? Skip them? Ignore them? Engage them?

We work toward unity in all of its diversity or the reminder of who Jesus Christ is and why we should follow Him.

We are different parts of the same body. We welcome the diversity!!!!

Let's take a quick mash-up course in mathematics as we discover the breadth and length and height and depth of the love of Christ in our lives and the world.

Peace is more than just the absence of conflict.  Each of us, in our own unique way fits into God's bigger picture for the beloved community. How we fit is sometimes not as clear. 

As children of God, we are different in many ways, but with the same purpose and goal. The sooner we understand and accept that, the closer we will be to reflecting the beloved community God intended.
