Sunday Reflection: Prescience and Reversal
1) James Dunn signed a book for me-- Brent Walker's biography of him. On the inside he wrote "Galations 5," which means he either loves that verse (most likely), is extraordinarily prescient, or he reads the Razor, since that is what I wrote about last week.
2) At one of the services on Saturday, a men's chorus from a local prison sang, and did so extraordinarily well. It made me remember Jesus's admonition to "visit those in prison," and realize that now the prisoners were visiting us. Not only that, but leading us. So, I sat there, the prosecutor, as the prisoners led the service. There is something profoundly Christian about that. Also something a little scary, but the most profoundly Christian things are very often like that.
