Sorry Zach...

...I just don't know what to write!
So here is a bunch of bogus thoughts based on the Word.
1. Why is it so much easier to see the splinters in our neighbor's eye when we have a beam in our own, yet if we take care of the beam in our own eye we don't notice the splinter in our neighbors?
2. When the prodigal son returned the Father (God) came to meet him. The prodigal did not feel worthy to be a son and hoped to be a servant. The father welcomed him back as a son and threw a party. The older son never left his father but lived his life as a servant instead of a son. When the Father came to him and asked him to join the party the oldest son refused to even enter the house. Both sons were lost but only one was found.
3. Mary and Martha had different priorities. Martha was a doer who showed her love and devotion by working and preparing a welcoming home and meal for Christ. Mary was a listener and learner who showed her love for Christ by breaking free of the rules that governed proper behavior and sat at the feet of Jesus (A place no proper woman should have been in that day and age) and listened to his teachings. Both loved the Lord and were doing as they felt lead. Martha got into trouble though when she decided that Mary should be showing her love for the Lord in the exact same manner as Martha was. God speaks to us differently and welcomes our individual worship and devotion no matter what form it takes as long as it is honest and from the heart.
4. Only human kind has eternal life for it was only man who was made in the image of God and has God's eternal breath in him. And as woman was made from man they also share that image and breath.

Okay hope that's enough for now. My brain only thinks oddly for a little while.
