Shared

Yesterday the Gospel was James and John jockeying for position with Jesus.  The sermon was on sharing the Cup.  Sharing.  Something we get lessons on beginning at age two.  Something we seem to have a hard time remembering.  Yesterday was also healing prayer.  I knew I was good yesterday, and serving as an usher, I was seated in the back.  Yesterday was healing prayer.  Seated in the back, suddenly, I remembered South Carolina and Quincy

The sermon was on the Cup

To be shared

With those on the right,

Those on the left,

The disciples who begged

For those places,

Those spots which placed them

Directly

Next to Jesus.

The sermon was on the Cup

To be shared;

The operative word:

Shared.

We forget

Shared.
