I found it interesting that I wrote this last week and then our pastor spoke about expectations (for the Jews who expected a King; and for us when we expect healing or something else from God) and disappointments. A blessed Easter to you!Ruth L.

It puts us in the scene and I can only imagine, as your story so aptly points out Ruth, the confusion and questions that the followers of Jesus must have had. It really brings them alive for us and helps us relate.Gloria Lynn Guesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144091313075005581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-14393027467741549962019-04-15T05:13:51.220-07:002019-04-15T05:13:51.220-07:00Thanks for sharing your poetry with us, David!Thanks for sharing your poetry with us, David!Ruth L.

Thank you, Ruth. I had also thought of writing about this trio of Jesus' friends, but I'm glad I didn't, because you've done such an excellent job with this story. I like that you told the story from Mary's point of view, which works well. I would have gotten mixed up in my long-standing Martha Complex. Ha!<br /><br />The stories this month are real treasures. Maybe they need to be put in an InScribe book.Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.com
