talmidim :: trying to be covered in the dust of my rabbi - July 9th, 2006

i encountered god today more than i do on most sundays. i slept in until 11:04 a.m. and then spent one hour reading matthew 5-7. yes, i got worked over by it again -- but continue to discover more and grow deeper in my understanding of jesus. also reading the last word by n.t. wright. the beauty of matt. 5-7 astonishes me. i can't thoroughly and/or adequately write what i'm thinking about the entire piece. i've always tore apart section by section but today took it all in at once -- as a whole symphony. beautiful.
