Unexpected

Pigs rush en masse down the steep bank. To their demise. Leaving one madman behind.

Now clothed. Calm. Coherent. And in his right mind.

The news spreads. People come from town and countryside to see for themselves. Hear eyewitness accounts.

But their response is unexpected. 

They don’t want Jesus to stay. In fact, they can’t get Him out of there fast enough.

Discontent

Grumbling
against
leadership.

And
wilderness
living conditions.

Discontent
“if only”s
en route to
the promised land.

Discontent.

Open door

Over the years. In various cultures. Conversations over tea build friendships. And open doors. 

Our exchange moves from common everyday themes to the topic most essential. 

And dearest to my heart. 

Jesus.
