  1. So here's a random thought...
    I read Mark 14:55-65 this morning. got all fired up observing a bunch of self-righteous, over-zealous, envious religious leaders barrel ahead in total blindness of who stood before them and press on with all their might to get this "blasphemous man" out of their way so life could return to normal as they knew it. Then it hit me - in my "righteous" judgment of them am I totally innocent of what they were doing? Have I never pushed aside the discomfort of truth staring me in the face, challenging me to let go of misconceptions and humble myself to say I was wrong? Of course we all know the answer to that! It's easy for me to see the obvious in a bible passage, in the lives of others, but how about me? God is coaxing me to acknowledge truth... about myself... my desire as this moment of light breaks into my consciousness is to be open to where he is in my life, to recognize him and to honor him with my actions and words.
