Get into the ring! How this works...

This is easy! Each week on Thursday I post my homily idea...my main focus for preaching this coming Sunday. What I am hoping for is a reaction from people in the pews. Does my "focus" connect with your daily life, faith, and experience? Or not? Either affirm the direction I am going in (by giving me an example from your life) or challenge me, ask for clarification! Questions are the best! Reaction rather than reflection is what I'm looking for here. Don't be afraid, get in the ring. Ole!

What are you up to?

In both teachings of Jesus this weekend the basic question put to disciples of Jesus is this: what are you up to?  When one accepts the invitation to a banquet what are you doing as you enter the banquet. Are you there for your host and his occasion or are you trying to accomplish something for your own ego- satisfaction?

Same thing with your invitation/hospitality.  Why are you generous to others?  What are you doing?  Loving or building your reputation?  Wow.

Just asking what is your motive in every choice you make?  That's what is eternal.
