Scripture: Mark 10:46-52 About ten years ago I had major eye surgery. For the first week after surgery, my eyes were stitched shut. (A reality my surgeon failed to mention in advance. He’d actually given me an informational handout that indicated I could read following surgery if I so desired… apparently they thought I read Braille.) Before that surgery, I’d never realized how vulnerable I could feel without my vision. So much information and stimulus enters through our eyes. Even in our connections to other people, we rely on being able to see their expressions, their gestures, and their posture. By Pastor Tracey Leslie
Scripture: 1 Kings 21:1-16 There is an old Bill Cosby comedy “bit” about a toddler who loves cookies. Ignoring the word “no” and caught dipping her hand into the cookie jar too often, mom moves the cookie jar to the top of the refrigerator, out of the toddler’s reach. But the toddler is determined. While mom and dad are in another room of the house, the little girl drags a kitchen chair across the floor and over to the refrigerator; climbs onto the chair, then onto the counter, and reaches up and into the cookie jar. Lucky for mom and dad, she’s too young to realize that sounds travels. Mom and dad hear the chair being drug and little feet hopping around. When dad enters the kitchen, he asks her, “What are you doing?” And she replies, “Getting you a cookie.” Dad responds, “I don’t want a cookie,” leading her to reply, “Then I’ll eat it.” It’s a funny story and a clever child. |
