Preaching from t he heart

 In today's Gospel from Mark, Jesus condemned the rich and praised a poor woman who gave all she had.

I talked about wanting to be honored and given the best seat. I've been like that.

But now, with  the President elect, my friend fighting for his life in  Yale/New Haven hospital, my child in a life changing position, my injury  still effecting me--I feel poor.

But someone called me about her husband being near death and I was comforting to her.

Even when we are poor--we are rich in compassion, care and love.

Just that.
