Would you light a lamp and put it under your bed? Jesus didn't think you would. He suggested using a lamp stand. Though I would use a lamp stand in the lounge and put the lamp on a bed side cabinet. I think he is saying we need to shine brightly. We need to be grateful for how far God has brought us.
When I went to church yesterday to say some prayers a woman indicated I should follow her. She took me to her car and opened the boot. Inside was a new wheel cover she couldn't work out how to fit. I played around a bit then eventually read the instructions. The wire needed to go on the inside and into 'A' and 'E' slots. I soon had it fitted and secured it with a couple of ties.
I went into the church and opened the app that plays the divine mercy prayers while she fluffed around with some flowers near the alter before leaving. Having prayed along with the app I then opened the rosary app but it was stuck on the 3rd sorrowful mystery. So I just prayed along thinking of Jesus wearing a crown of thorns. The next mystery was of him carrying a cross. Then finally being crucified. The more astute of you might say that is only three decades and you would be right. To make up for it I prayed the first two Glorious mysteries.
Evidently wearing a crown of thorns would be agonizing because there are major nerves that run around the head and face.
It would send spasms of intense pain all around the face. Anyone with neuropathic conditions knows what I mean. I sometimes get it in the feet and it is unrelenting and non stoppable agony.Better go .... have fun but don't sin.
“unrelenting and non stoppable”
ReplyDeleteGosh, doubly bad.
I think that woman was trying to pick you up Robert.
