Evening: Psalms 12, 13, 14; Mark 1:29-45
Clergy collars attract the wrong kind of attention. Even strangers behave differently and make assumptions about you based on thiers idea about what clergy are like. I prefer to avoid all that. Full disclosure can wait until we know one another. Jesus told a leper to keep his healing quiet and follow accepted ritual practices. Jesus’s healings by-passed the religious system; he wanted to stay hidden to avoid discrediting the faith by being thought disloyal. There are many good reasons for discretion and privacy. Maybe sometimes it is just wise to guard against attracting the wrong kind of attention.
