Two Holy men, Mike and Pete, both trained in a very strict religious monastery, were to take an all day journey to a shrine. The day before they left, it had rained most of the night and the road they were to walk on became very muddy. Still, in the morning, they set out to the shrine. After walking about two hours they approached a village and came upon a young woman wearing a beautiful white silk kimono wishing to cross the muddy road. Without any words, Mike picked up the young woman and carried her to the other side of the road where she could continue to her destination. The two men then continued walking on in silence. Five hours later as they were approaching their destination, Pete could not restrain himself any longer. He looked at Mike and asked, "Why did you pick up that young woman and carry her across the road? You know it is improper. We holy men are not allowed to do things like that!" Mike looked at Pete and replied, "I put the girl down hours ago, why are you still carrying her?"
Jesus gave us all the keys we need to unlock the chains that bind us. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free!"
Todays lesson to ponder, "Maybe you just need to let it go!"
Love, pastor Kent
