How to Do-Good

Quick How-To Guide: Start the day with a little silence, scripture (via Forward Day by Day, if you choose) and prayer. Then open your eyes and make it a practice to be hyper-aware of who and what's going on around you. Deploy that deed with confidence when God gives you his signature gentle nudge. This may feel awkward and unnatural. #NoWorries #GoWithIt #DeedWellDone #BlessingsEnsueJustWait

Day Six

Scripture: Ps 41, 52, 44; Deuteronomy 8:11-20; Hebrews 2:11-18; John 2:1-12


Scripture Standout:  John 2: "1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” 4 “Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”


Morning Thoughts: Did Jesus have a hard time do-gooding sometimes, too? That wasn't exactly a "yes ma'am" for his mother who was just trying to help a party host in need. I am no theologian, so I'm sure there' some smart context here. But could Jesus have been reluctant to get involved in others' needs like the rest of us?


Another thought: Check out the front page of the Times-Union this morning! Episcopalians are big news in these parts!
