Luke 12:49-56
2010-08-11 — I knew someone once who was really passive-aggressive, but I’d never have told them that to their face.
BIBLE PASSAGE — “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divided: father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, ‘It is going to rain’; and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat’; and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?

Lovely!!! Couldn’t agree more.
Only I had hoped so much, you would have a new ‘Mary, Mother of Our Lord’ cartoon…
I’m just lovin’ it! Oh, how true to life that is. Trouble is, I’m the worst offender.
My congregation is voting at the end of the month as to whether it stays in the ELCA or not. This particular passage speaks, no: screams, at this matter.
