lectionary group

not much time to post today, but i wanted to let y'all in on the great discussion we had today in our lectionary group. as usual we were all over the map, but one thing that stands out to me is the way Jesus turns it all right-side-up. he is clear that prayer is like seeking justice against an adversary. what does that look like? not the to-do list for God that so many of us pray, but instead it looks like beating down God's door asking for faith enough to overcome temptation; to destroy the evil one who constantly tries to turn us away from God.

it was a great conversation this morning; sorry you couldn't be there.
