Luke 10:38-42
38 Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he was saying. 40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me." 41 But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; 42 there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her."




Reflection

So there I was not moving to amount to anything. But the brain was churning. The brain was churning with anger. Why wouldn't she get up and help. We had an honored guest to care for but noooo... there she was... sitting and listening and not helping one bit.

And then I sprung into action. I wiggled and waggled and air pushed out of the lungs and through the voice box and over me as I wiggled and waggled to form a whole bunch of words in a matter of a few seconds. I don't think I had ever moved that quickly before in my life!

Then I went still... I could tell the ears had sprung into action and the brain was processing something from the mouth of Jesus. And then... and then! I say then! The teeth bit me!!!!!
