Another Week went by - so fast

If you are wondering if I forgot you, I didn't.  I was sick and didn't realize I needed anti-biotics.  I am fine now, so I shall be back to my routine.  I missed a few functions I wanted to go to and didn't realize how busy I usually am.


I want you to have a nice weekend.  Consider signing up with me on substack.  There is a free or paid subscription, your choice.

Time is flying!!!!!!!Good talk.  Keep safe.

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.
