Edit
on 9/13/20: On further thought I’m going to change this to a Sunday meditation
for the future. I think Sunday fits better
as a day to meditate since it is supposed to be the day of rest and you can use
the entire week to contemplate the sentence.
I’ll change my introduction below accordingly.
I’m
going to start a new category for the blog.
A short meditation for one to ponder on for the weekend the day
of rest and for the week ahead if it so carries you. This is different than Faith Filled
Friday. That’s usually a longer piece of
writing that is full of thought and ideas.
A Saturday Sunday meditation will be a sentence or less. Here you can absorb and weigh every single
word. Hopefully the words selected lead
you to some new or interesting insight.
I
take this first meditation from Mark 6:20, from “The Death of John the Baptist.”
When [Herod] heard
[John the Baptist] speak he was very much perplexed, yet he liked to listen to
him.
John
is excoriating Herod, and yet Herod “liked to listen to him." Why?
