Scripture Reading: Luke 9:23-27

Written by Pastor David Choi, Praise Presbyterian Church

It’s a pretty simple task, really. You sit down with a bowlful of cooked snails. You take a safety pin, stick it into the shell and slowly twist the snail out, being careful to do it slowly enough so that you get the whole snail out without tearing it.

Scripture Reading: John 6:1-14

“Daddy, count to googolplex.”

“Uh… Max, that number is too big. It’s going to take a really long time.”

“Ok, count to forty-one.” We were playing hide and seek, and my nearly four year old son needed a little more time than the usual “count to ten” to find a good hiding place. Forty-one happens to be largest number that he is comfortable with. So, if dad can’t count to googolplex, then he’ll take the next best, biggest thing. Forty-one.

His older brother taught him that a googolplex is “the biggest number there is.” You know, as in (responding to a claim that one child jumped up and down on the bed a hundred times): “O yeah, well, I did it a googolplex times. So there.”

Scripture Reading: Psalm 50:7-15

Written by Pastor David Choi, Praise Presbyterian Church

Sunday. We were exhausted.

“Where do you guys want to eat dinner?”

The chant began. “Market Fair. Market Fair. Market Fair.”

“Hmmm. I don’t know.” (Oh no! Not the food court again. Not for dinner.)

“Dad, you have to. We formed a coalition.”

(I should NOT have taught him that word.)

“Well, that doesn’t matter. The grown-ups are going to decide today.”

Pause.

“The will of the people is the best law!”

Specifically, your arms are supposed to come out of the water near your hips and they’re supposed to reach up and behind you, entering the water above your head, pinky first.

Well, my son didn’t quite understand what he was supposed to do.

He left large magnificent ruins, unmistakable footprints throughout the land (for which archeologists are very grateful).  Everywhere we walked, we stood on his signature stones.

In contrast, Jesus left no stones.

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:12-20

One of my fellow pilgrims, perhaps tired from the flight, saw the long walk ahead of him and exclaimed, “Holy Moses!”

An elderly man walking next to us overheard him and said, “You’re in the Holy Land.  You must walk!”
