These verses are all about the doing- healing, calling apostles, casting out demons.

Probably if we followed the lineage out to modern times, Larry the Cable Guy would be a distance cousin... or maybe notLynne Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788918458763274157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926245050623680380.post-28540795786115403782011-06-16T19:20:58.121-04:002011-06-16T19:20:58.121-04:00You said it Sarah!

Preaching and healing and casting out demons (who seemed to know exactly who he was even when others doubted!). We humans sure have learned to overcomplicate our living. But what struck me most today was when I read again about how the multitudes are following Jesus everywhere and over long distances. One verse in particular stood out to me...3:8 - When they heard how many things he was doing, they came to Him. The sick, the needy, the lost - they sought him. Why? Because he loved them and made them feel worthy. It made me think - are my actions making people want to ask me about what made a difference in my life? Or am I alienating and excluding others like the Pharisees did? God help me love others and live life in such a way that it makes others "want some of what I'm having".Carol Floreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371996673049353163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926245050623680380.post-29164676869689626102011-06-16T18:46:00.022-04:002011-06-16T18:46:00.022-04:00Mark gets right to the point.

I wonder what Jesus would think of 1000 people at Annual Conference taking two days and 9 ballots to elect 13 representatives to General Conference. And we still have to elect 18 more! There has got to be a better way to use our time. To paraphrase the great philospher Larry the Cable Guy "We need to get 'er done!"Sara Armstrongnoreply@blogger.com
