"He sits me at the table in the presence of my enemies, he anoints my head with oil, my cup runs over."
He sits me down at a table and well, he waits on me basically. GOD WAITS ON YOU.
Sit down & let God love you. Quit trying to DO DEVOTIONS & just let GOD LOVE YOU. That's my message for today.
I'm sitting here with Pastor Tie Dye for those of you who click on the links next to my blogs! We are at a conference together.
"Community arises when the sharing of pain takes place, not as a stifling form of self-complaint, but as a recognition of God's saving promises." Henri Nouwen

Monday of Holy Week Year A B C Psalm 36:5-11, Isaiah 42:1-9, John 12:1-11, Hebrews 9:11-15
“There is no single action that can be claimed as the exclusive embodiment of Christ in the world. Perhaps Christ becomes flesh in our world in a variety of ways as long as there are people who make themselves available to God for that purpose.” Jirair Tashjian at http://www.cresourcei.org/lectionary/YearC/Clent5nt.html.
In John 12, Mary anoints the feet of Jesus with $12,000 worth of perfume. Judas Iscariot accuses her of wasting money that could have been given to the poor. Jesus affirms Mary’s gift to him instead of agreeing with Judas.
Being available for Jesus’ work is never boring, and usually we find he leads in ways we never imagined possible.
