More awesome than a hotdog

Name: Chad
Scripture: Luke 20: 27- 21:4

OAP:
I haven't looked at the scripture yet, but I was on the southhills website trying to put up all the SOAP passages on the blog for accessibilities sake and I saw this:
"Remember,the aim of journaling is to answer the question:
How will I be different today because of what I have just read."
So lets go into it with that mindset.

I fancy myself a fairly smart guy. Jesus is smarter. "and they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent". Even as they are trying to trick Jesus, to catch him in a paradox, to outwit him they are still learning. They come to mock and yet they leave amazed and enriched. How often I rationalize anything I feel like, or don't feel comfortable with. I reason my way around it. Not only is Jesus not tricked (big suprise there) but he still uses it to love me. Thats kinda awesome. (original meaning, not hotdog)

God, may I not be so blinded in my humanity that when I go against you I cannot learn. Guide my path, but also guide my mistakes. Don't let me waste the experience of sinning as a tool for your kingdom.
