					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m listening to U2 as I write &#8211; 40 is playing, a paraphrase of Isaiah 40, which includes the words &#8216;how long?&#8217; and &#8216;I will sing, sing new song&#8217;. I&#8217;m going to consider these reflections a kind of &#8216;new song&#8217; that I&#8217;m singing to God.

					<description><![CDATA[Catching up today &#8211; here goes! Reading: Mark 6:30-52 The section titled the feeding of the five thousand begins with the disciples reporting on their successful mission, and Jesus trying to get the disciples away together for some quiet time, because they &#8216;had no leisure even to eat&#8217;. Here is Jesus wanting to bring some Sabbath [&#8230;]]]></description>

Reading: Mark 4:10-41 I didn&#8217;t focus on the parable of the sower in my last post, because I wanted to look at it in this one, as part of Jesus&#8217; &#8216;explanation&#8217; of the parable to his bewildered disciples.

					<description><![CDATA[Back on track, timewise at least. Reading: Mark 2:23-3:19 &#8216;The Sabbath was made for humankind, not humankind for the Sabbath&#8217;. I suspect I should remember this verse more often than I do. Sabbath time, a significant chunk of time set aside to rest, reflect, worship, pray and to not work, requires discipline to create.

Reading: Mark 1;32-39 I need to remember this passage when I&#8217;m feeling frustrated about having a long day, or feeling like I&#8217;m being bombarded by people who need my input, decision or help.

The reading is Mark 1:14-20 Biblical commentaries on Mark&#8217;s gospel always note how it&#8217;s the shortest and the most dynamic. Jesus is always going somewhere or doing something and it happens at a rapid pace. Mark doesn&#8217;t waste words, which often leaves us filling in [&#8230;]]]></description>

The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God&#8230; It begins with Isaiah, then John, and eventually Jesus.
