Conundrums

Jesus gives us a couple of conundrums in today's gospel. A conundrum is defined as a puzzling or difficult question. There are some common things we see or hear every day which could be considered conundrums. Why does a round pizza come in a square box? Why are you asked to put your two cents worth in...but it's only a penny for your thoughts? What happens to that extra penny? Why do people who slept well say they slept like a baby when babies wake up like every two hours? There are some conundrums on TV—if the professor could make a radio out of coconuts, why couldn't he fix the hole in The Minnow? Or Wiley Coyote, he had money to buy all those explosives and stuff from the Acme Company...why didn't he just buy his dinner? Here's a puzzling question, do The Alphabet Song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star really have the same tune? (singing in your heads?)
There are lots of conundrums in life, some nonsensical, some serious. Jesus asked two very tough questions; some troubling incidents had taken place and it is human nature for us to try to make sense of difficult questions.
Luke relates that some people came to Jesus with questions about a killing by the Roman soldiers of Pilate.

Strange Bedfellows

Psalm 27; Philippians 3: 17-4:1; Luke 13: 31-35
February 21, 2016
Three travelers had their car break down out in the middle of nowhere. They made their way to a farmhouse and knocked on the door. The farmer answered and when they explained their trouble, he said they could stay over, but he had only room for two in the house, the third individual would have to sleep in the barn. I should mention who the three travelers were: a Jewish Rabbi, a Hindu priest and one of our candidates for president...I won't say which one, you can insert an appropriate name...oh, all right, it was Donald Trump. They say politicians make strange bedfellows; so does religion and politics.
