Theology notes continues - Attending the Tomb

Attending the Tomb -  They hold on til the end.

2nd last function -  good news according to Mark.  Reminded Miracle Stories to believe to have life.

Another thread -  how we approached the text  1.  narrative approach.   2.  social political -  alert to signals of what is going on there and how does that influence the text.  What goes on now also seeps into the text - how we read.  What is each of our locations have to do with our readings.  To be suspicious is to be alert. 

Today that continues.  A more mundane aspect.  What does it mean to read from an economics position?

Mark Method (edited by Anderson and Moore)

No matter how little we have, we should always give.  Where are we comfortable and where do we pull back.

In Mark - parables are ambiguous.  Chap 9  -Power; Chap 10 -  Kingdom to little children.

Miracle inact Kingdom.

Remembering 9/11

     Today I will be watching CNN and our Canadian Channels to remember 9/11.   I cannot believe that was 25 years ago.  My sympathies goes out to all the families and survivors and to those who sacrificed their lives.  I also thank all who reached out to help - Gander. 

More on Enercare

 Enercare has recorded 1,141 total customer complaints over the last three years on the Better Business Bureau. [1] (https://www.bbb.org/.../enercare-home.../complaints)

This should be fun. Some complaints are ignoring cancellations. I have copied the above from google. Next Door has used some colourful language in sharing their experiences. My question is why are they allowed to operate this way? I shall find out. Imagine being told I need a replacement part and then receiving an email that I do not (because it is insured). Apparently it is now a corporation. I have not verified that, but it would explain. Is this really a Canadian Company? I shall find out. With the tensions between us and the States, we are trying to support Canadian, but then one may ask, is this being taken advantage of? I won't stop until the part is replaced and I cancel without a problem. The complaints I read about is terrible. When companies change hands, we should be notified and not find out due to incompetence and greed. Of course I am only recording here what complaints are on line and here say. Maybe Enercare will prove them wrong. What do you think? Who does own Enercare? All Canadian? The government is now helping Canadian Businesses.

Frustrated today with Enercare - Looks like I am going to have to drop them. Too bad. They used to be fantastic.

 I have had insurance for both my furnace and central air with Enercare for years. I had someone come and clean both which is covered. The service man was great as usual. He has been here before. He told me that one piece had to be replaced in my furnace which was covered by my insurance. I was expecting the person yesterday or today. I received two separate emails today that all was fine. So I called to complain and it was obviously a calling station (overseas). The man refused to let me speak to a manager and kept repeating himself. So, I hung up on him because the experience was becoming daunting. I called Customer Service. This time I reached the Caribbean, which was much better. I wanted to lay an official complaint against the previous person who refused to transfer me to a manager. I now have an appointment and expect the person to come with the replacement part. Anyone have problems with Enercare? They used to run very efficiently but it appears they are looking for labour outside our country to deal with complaints. No number could be provided in Toronto. I support Canadian workers so it appears I have a decision to make. Next step? The government if this is not resolved.
