It has been a looong week - between his meds and the chronic medical conditions of others in our household - I am SUPER tired.
I re-read (actually re-listened to) Sense and Second-Degree Murder this week during the nights as I stayed up to keep Buddy from bothering his incision and to give him meds and in the mornings - as he slept more and I was able to sleep more - I have been reading the book of Mark. All of my Lent reading plans went out the window, so I chose to read through Mark to help keep my mind focused on the entire reason we are celebrating anything this week.
And the neatest thing happened.
As I got to the end of Mark 9, I noted something I had never noticed before. Jesus says "For everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good, but if salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves and be at peace with one another."
As I puzzled this out, I decided to pull up the commentary on Bible Hub to see if I could get a better grasp on this passage of scripture. Normally when I am reading this passage I am totally zeroed in on the father and his desperation to help his child. He prays the BEST prayer - I believe, help me in my unbelief. But this time through verses 49-50 jumped out at me.
I utilized Bible Hub and read through MacLaren's Expositions and spent every early morning I could taking notes and thinking through what he said. If you have time - I included the link (click on MacLaren's name) -
Happy Holy Week - tomorrow morning is Resurrection morning.
