clarify

i guess i don't ever really assume that anyone other than wellspring folks will venture into my blog.

i generally don't find it to be too fantastic or inspiring,

but every once in awhile i get to feel special.

thanks to my dear friend mark berry...i've had a visitor that left a very interesting comment on my latest blog 'blessing':

'Juli, thanks for posting this. i really enjoyed the blessing you wrote. I saw it first on Mark Berry's blog. I would like to point out, though, that the question Jesus was responding to was not 'how to get to heaven.' Thanks again!' -eric

i appreciate eric's comment...i'm simply wondering if that's really what the 'expert of the law' was asking jesus in luke 10, or is it just that i've grown up in a pretty heaven-driven fundamental part of the country?

the young man asked...'what must I do to inherit eternal life?'

i tend to read that as meaning, what must i do to get into heaven....

i totally understand that jesus wasn't answering the question,

at least not the one that the 'young expert' wanted answered.

anyways, enough with semantics and theology...

eric's comment was a good one and it made me think,

so thanks for that, and thanks mark berry :)
