The commentary on fading faith and state of faith at the temple led me to think about struggles in the church, past and present. John’s Gospel is all about keeping all eyes and hearts and minds on Jesus! We tend to turn our eyes toward the shiny things in the water, and mount a crusade against them, instead of Jesus’ Way of “fishing for people.

I was also led by your writing today to get the referenced Barbara Brown Taylor’s book “The Preaching Life.” As of now, the first chapter is holding me captive! Wow!

Thanks for the enrichment!

I like this turn of phrase: "faith is a journey, not a sip of water or wine before the journey begins."

And yes, cool cover. ;-)
