When I read the passages about God’s healing power I shrink in thought as I am handicapped. There is no medical hope for my healing past my present condition. In spite of all of this, I never blame God for my state, and I never ask God why me? I learned from this reading how to pray for my healing, “God’s will, in His time, in His way.” I am thankful for my healing so far, and in a way, I have been taught how to appreciate every one of God’s gifts.

Jesus calling the rulers hypocrites for caring more for the animals ,in their care than the sacred woman ,caused me to reflect on animal care. It is becoming more evident that people are worshiping their animals, they seem to have become idols. A couple could not attend church because their dog might jump up on the couch while they were gone and injure him self, after surgery. The dog was sixteen years old and the cost of the operation was three thousand dollars. They were able to go to work, however. I love animals and recognize that this is an unpopular stand but when thousands of dollars are spent on surgeries. Pet Spas, insurance, burials, gourmet food, etc, could we be “caring more for animals in our care than for hurting people?”

One of my theological “heros” is the late Gordon Cosby. In Luke 13, it says that Jesus offended the synagogue rulers and Gordon was never afraid to offend either, when faced with injustice. I believe many in our churches hunger to be challenged and perhaps be made a wee bit uncomfortable by the Gospel message.
