Suppose, in your ambition to be a truly great player, you invested heavily in the best pads, the best helmet, the best shin guards. Suppose you dedicated yourself to maintaining this equipment in top-drawer condition, worrying yourself sick at every nick. Suppose, then, that you showed up for first practice to find everyone warming up in the batter's cage. Have you been playing the wrong game all along?

Mystery Meal
Coming to you this Sunday from Kings' Daughters and Sons Home, I took a look at a word whose meaning is so transcendent that 2,000 years of speculation have drawn us little closer to understanding its meaning. It appears in both the Matthean and Lucan versions of the Lord's Prayer and will lead you into some interesting speculation about the loyalty you unthinkingly accord to your tribe in this time of horrific hatred on both sides of the political debate.

Consequences -- Reading Amos in America
Do you get the sense from some of the TV preachers that God is happy with the way we do things and only sticks around to congratulate us? How do you feel about the bumper stickers you so frequently see reading "God Bless America"? What does that mean to you?

Lumettered Sayings -- Some thoughts on the Good Samaritan
Speaking this week from the beautiful pulpit of First Presbyterian Church of Ashland, Kentucky, the church in which I was raised and married, I found myself thinking about self-justification, the Good Samaritan, and a British monk of the fourth century named Pelagius.

The Chains That Bind Us
Archibald Macleish once said, "Religion is at its best when it makes us ask hard questions of ourselves. It is at its worst when it deludes us into thinking we have all the answers for everybody else". We, sinners all, are very prone to considerations of the sins of others, rather than the uncomfortable task of consideration of our own. Paul has some important information on how we are to treat transgressors.
