3/2

practice starting in the afternoon,

ate dinner with the praise team members after practice.

more practice until near midnight,

after which I went straight home.


read Luke 7 and 8 before heading out to the day of practices,

and the story of the sinful woman who washed Jesus' feet

was very moving.

when the pharisee who saw the woman washing Jesus' feet

wondered in thought whether Jesus is able to know that she is a sinful woman,

Jesus reads his mind and replies with an analogy of two debtors.

when agreed upon that the debtor with the bigger debt will be more thankful  when the debt is forgiven,

Jesus explains how the woman,

who acknowledges her sins,

is able to show her thanks through the washing of feet,

while the pharisee,

who we can dare construe as self-righteous by seeing how he judged the woman,

is unable to show that level of thankfulness.


thankful.
