No Waste of Time

Monday of Week One in Ordinary Time

I had a professor once, who when describing the overall feel of Mark’s gospel used the phrase “Jesus in tennis shoes”. 

Today, John the Baptist is quickly and quietly out of the picture.  Jesus ran back to Galilee and with minimal wording hooks Simon and Andrew at work by the sea.  Another hop, skip, and jump and he’s nabbed James and John. 

They leave everything. 
And that’s what Mark wants us to hone in on quickly. 

This discipleship thing is radical
Think hard about it 
Don’t worry about the details
I need you ready
We are going on a grueling
but beautiful journey

…you need to be IN all the way
