Day 207

Scripture: Ps 128, 129, 130; 2 Kings 22:14-23:3; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34; Matthew 9:9-17


Scripture standout: Matthew 9: "¹¹ When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

 ¹² On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. ¹³ But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’^[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

His Deed/The Day: Tonight, as I was cooking some broccoli in the toaster oven with a little olive oil and garlic salt, I remembered that an old friend had taught me all about the toaster oven and its magic. When the kids were little, she taught me how you can throw a small piece of meat in there and make a fabulous steak with a little garlic salt and olive oil. It stuck with me. So I thanked her for sharing that knowledge tonight.

Another friend's family is going through a horrible tragedy. Just when you think you know the limits of your friend's challenges, another layer thickens...which is the the case with her. Swung through Terry's Kitchen for a big vat of chicken tettrazinni for all the family coming in town tonight. My heart's heavy for her and her family.
