My husband

Mark 6:1-6
To me, my husband is the man who comes home about 6pm. switches on the tv, puts his feet up on a stool and waits for the kettle to be boiled, his tea brewed, pour and delivered to him with a piece of cake. He may or my not mow the grass or mend the dishwasher.
To the world of ethylene chemical engineering  that same man is an expert, a holder of patents, a writer of papers and chair of seminars, a holder of degrees from both Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Why can he not load the dishwasher in a logical fashion?
Perhaps we should try to take a little distance from our family and try to appreciate the whole person, not just the part involved in our own life.
