The gift of myrrh
went from manger to cross.
Mary and Joseph said
thank you to the kings,
but Jesus, on the cross,
when offered wine with myrrh,
said no.
There are times when we, too,
must go heartlong into our pain,
knowing it’s the only way
we will get to Easter living.
Kneeling in Jerusalem by Ann Weems

These are the random musings of a man whose goal is to make Jesus the paramount pursuit of my life who, while in this effort, is writing down a few lessons I've learned along the way. You'll have to decide if they are worth heeding but at least you may learn a few things not to do.
