Mark 3:22-30

Good morning on this beautiful Monday as you make the kids love the idea of going to school. The weekend is so very Quik to end. I enjoyed my half day off. That is I only had one Mass in Lebanon. I totally loved those Sunday readings. Next week we start reading the beatitudes and I am dreading them a bit.

Anyway today’s passage reminds us yet not to waste our time trying to get approval from people who have already made up their minds about us. Trust me some people are stuck in high school and will always want to bring your spirit down. Jesus does an amazing thing by casting out demons and they accuse him of using the power of Beelzebul, the prince of darkness. Of course it hurts his feelings and tries to explain himself. But if it is not this insult it will be another.

You know they are people who will never be happy for you no matter what? Do not give those people an opportunity to hurt you. That is, minimal contact brother, limited information. I am learning that as a police officer. Jokers will stab you in the back every opportunity they get. Anyway our Lord just moves on, he keeps moving on. Do that today, don’t dwell on it, do good and keeps moving sista.
