Penultimate day of the 40 day retreat and I find it hard to believe I got this far with the 'plogs'. If you've tracked with me through them all then THANK YOU - it's been such an encouragement:-)
The readings continue to challenge - I read todays in 'The Passion' translation. The cost of following Jesus is truly high if we should appear to hate our father, mother, wife, sister, brothers…even our own lives in comparison. Jesus wasn't into gathering huge numbers of followers - if he was he would have made following him much easier. If anything he discouraged the massive crowds of people by saying that they should count the cost. The illustrations He gave hint at our need for total dependency on Him regardless of the cost.
