Sunday Scripture: Mark 9:2-9 During this story of the mind-blowing experience of the Transfiguration the disciples hear a clear instruction to listen to Jesus. This is important, since in Mark's Gospel, the disciples seem consistently to misunderstand things Jesus says to them. For us too there is often voices competing for our attention. I recently heard someone say that we live in an attention economy, meaning that those who make it in business, or those churches or instit...utions that are successful, are those who get and keep getting people's attention. As people of faith, it is not about us being flashy or loud or entertaining. We are first called to listento listen to one and only one voice, that of Jesus. Prayer The din of this world is often deafening, O Lord. Give us ears to hear and hearts and minds to discern what is your voice and then the will to follow. Amen.

Happy Birthday Sue
