Reflection for February 19, 2017

" And he said, “Woe also to you lawyers! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not lift a finger to ease them."(Luke 11:46)

In my line of work I have encountered other clergy who are good at railing about "sins" and telling people what they should do, but do not apply their teachings to themselves.  

I also think I see this in politicians who make laws or take away benefits but don't do anything that would hurt themselves.

I try to not ask of anyone something I myself am unwilling to do. 

I'd prefer not to have a woe to you, that creates a woe is me.

Blessings,
Ed
