For the second Sunday of Lent, Daniel Whitehead (Executive Director of Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries) wrestled with the lectionary texts in Mark 8 and 9. The Apostle Peter learned the hard way, twice, that Christ expects us to live in hope, in the tension between pain and glory. Neither worldly wisdom nor demanding answers to our prayers are useful in following Jesus. Happiness is not what Christians are called to pursue, but the potluck lunch was enjoyed by all. [KH]
