A Daddy's Love

Psalm 130, Mark 5: 21-43​

Do you ever listen to KLFD on Sundays? They have a lot of “old” music. I say old in that much of it was even before my time of listening to the radio. Last Sunday we heard an oldie that kind of fit into today's gospel story. Here, I am going to play a bit for you.
Daddy's Little Girl thru 1:10

I'd never given a lot of thought to Jairus, the father in today's gospel reading. But in light of this song, I now picture a daddy who loved and spoiled his little girl and is now fearful of losing her. “You're daddy's little girl to have and hold, A precious gem is what you are. You're sugar, you're spice, you're everything nice. And you're daddy's little girl.”

Good Things

1 Samuel 15:34-16:13; Mark 4:26-34

It was Aesop who said, “Good things come in small packages.” Our scripture lessons today lean in that direction as well. This is the second week we've looked back in Israel's history to see how the succession of kings began. Last week it was the people demanding a king so they could be like all the other nations. And despite God's warnings of wars and labor and taxes and abuses of power, they got their king. King Saul was chosen largely because he looked like a king, “Saul, a most handsome young man. There was none finer—he literally stood head and shoulders above the crowd!” (1 Samuel 9: 2) But he was not a man after God's own heart. After a short time of ruling by God's hand, power corrupted him and he ruled by what he thought rather than what God wanted

1 Samuel 8:4-11 (12-15) 16-20 (11:14-15), 2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1
​Don't you love those TV ads for medicines that promise wonderful things with beautiful people doing wonderful, happy gatherings? But then there is the warning at the end; “Side effects of Mxyzptlkacine are uncommon, and include headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, dysentery, cardiac arrhythmia, mild heart explosions, varicose veins, darkened stool, darkened soul, more vomiting, arteriosclerosis, hemorrhoids, diabetes, mild discomfort, vampirism, spontaneous dental hydroplosion, sugar high, even more vomiting, and mild rash." And yet those people in the ad are having so much fun, we can ignore the side effects, ignore the fine print and buy the drug.
But sometimes we ignore the fine print at our own peril.
