still reading this book. basically it’s like reading matthew, only from lauren winner’s perspective. for the last two days, i’ve been turning this little bit over in my mind with the hope that it will penetrate my soul…deeply. it’s from chapter 18.

make sure that you do not look down on the little ones, on those who struggle, on those who are further behind you on the path of righteousness. for i tell you: they are watched over by those most beloved angels who are always in the company of My Father in heaven.

then jesus tells the story about the lost sheep, a shorter version than the one in luke that i wrote about last week. and afterwards he says, in lauren’s words,

your Father in heaven does not want a single one of the tripped, waylaid, stumbling little ones to be lost.

anyway this makes for much better meditation than the other things i’m thinking about which include, among other worthless pursuits, chocolate croissants from boulevard and new pants from rei.
