After you vote... this week's scripture

Greetings! I hope you have taken a trip to the polls today or are on your way. I did early voting at Home Depot, which felt a little odd. Back when I lived in New York, I had to go to the United Church of Christ down the street. We had those big voting booths with the little switches and the big lever that you pulled that closed the curtain behind you. When you were done, you pulled the level again, your vote was registered and the curtain opened. It felt a lot different than standing in front of a little computer on the edge of the home and garden center.

Anyway... here is the scripture we will be covering this week:

Mark 6:7-13 - New Revised Standard Version
Mark 6:7-13 - The Message

I am curious how you react to the weekly readings in The Message. Eugene Peterson's paraphrase can be quite different from the other version. I sometimes quote from it in worship, just to get a different feel for the text. Let me know what you think.

Have a great week.

peace,
