I wonder . . .
. . . were there people who got on Jesus’ nerves? Other than the Pharisees and religious leaders? Out of the thousands of hangers-on, not even one who constantly interrupted, or one with a whiney voice, or one who had to have the last word who brought Jesus to the edge: “Sheesh! Give me some space already!”
Dear Lord, grant me eyes to see the beautiful humans behind the annoying behaviors–and the heart to include them in our gatherings. Amen.
