It is my belief that most people (of various and no religious persuasions) honestly think that stopping to offer aid is the better choice in an ideal situation. But often that is not the choice that is made. So what stops us?<br /><br />I posit that two of the main things are our busy-ness and our fear. Selfishness/self-centeredness comes farther down on the list for me. <br /><a href="http://ministerialmutterings.blogspot.ca/2013/07/looking-forward-to-july-14-2013-8th.html" rel="nofollow">Here are my early thoughts</a>RevGordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097575486388725733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-56698411312256604812013-07-09T11:33:06.856-04:002013-07-09T11:33:06.856-04:00I think I am going to be using both Amos and Luke ...I think I am going to be using both Amos and Luke because I want to see the story of the Good Samaritan as the plumb line of our Christian lives-- How do we live out the gratitude of our lives and how to we hold that gratitude as the goal for our care of others. How does that gratitude become the plumb line for our actions. At least that is what I am toying with now.<br />Muthah+https://www.blogger.com/profile/10589837671378205837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-6259457153814237152013-07-09T11:23:26.217-04:002013-07-09T11:23:26.217-04:00I am reading Amos and Colossians this week because...I am reading Amos and Colossians this week because the Children's Sunday used the Good Samaritan's text.

Fellow Revgalblog pal jledmiston on her achurchforstarvingartist blog this morning shared a story of how missing the central message of love in scripture damaged irreparably a family. The blog post is titled: Bad Exegesis Kills. She writes: "Not one of us has cornered the market on Truth. It takes a lifetime to grapple with What God Is About. But let's start with love."<br /><br />I am still crying it touch me so much - so I am drawn to explore how to love what we fear most - how to love our neighbour who draws out our deepest fears and phobia's.
