Ouch

Mark 9:42-50

I am fairly fond of the various bits of my anatomny. The thought of any part of it being cuts makes me flinch and cringe  even though there is no imminent danger. I certainly want to keep all my fingers and thumbs, toes and feet, as well my eyes and arms, whatever mischief they might have been involved in. Some of my thoughts are a different matter. I would willing excise some of the thoughts from my past, ones which remind me of actions of which I am not proud and which I hope are not at home in the current me.

Lord help me to keep loving you in all I do.
