Evening: Psalm 145; Mark 8:31-9:1
“Life is short.” Yesterday, I heard two different people say these words, independently of one another and in different contexts. Both were reflecting on how important it is to spend your life well, to live it to the fullest and to be devoted to something beyond you - perhaps art, or another person, or a community, or friendship among people of different cultures and customs. Jesus would agree ... You lose (or waste) your life when you spend it serving only your own needs. But you find your life when you lose yourself in service to something greater.
