A Good Friday post… more amazing wisdom from children
out of the mouth of a child
As I was checking the ol’ blog for comments (spam of course), my daughter looked at the screen, noticed the cross and said “That’s almost like the cross Jesus used to die on!”
All I could do to respond was say “Yup, almost!”
Some thoughts on the woman at the well
I did preach this past Sunday, but did not have a scripted sermon, so there’s nothing to post 🙂 What I will do is simply post some thoughts on the reading from John 4:5-42, Jesus encountering the Samaritan woman at the well.
This reading speaks to us a lot today I think. Jesus has come to a land which is full off the despised Samaritans. And who does he speak to but a woman. A woman who is even rejected by her peers because she has had 5 husbands, and is reduced to having to go out in the heat of noon to retrieve water for the day. read more…
Evangelist in training
A conversation reported to me by my wife which occurred after bedtime prayers with our daughter….
Anna: “Mommy, I don’t think Wilbur knows God” (*name changed)
Mom: “You don’t think so? He might know God, his daddy is going to work in a church like daddy does”
Anna: “I better ask him, but not when his mommy and daddy are there. Just me and him”
Watch out preschoolers in the maritimes… there’s a new evangelist on the block! 😉
