Jesus, Not Jesús: my daily struggle to find God in our midst

I had a friend in town. He came with his girlfriend. Her girlfriend was in town with her boyfriend. She needed to be somewhere. And he had nowhere to go. Long story short, no one wanted to babysit a 24 yr. old kid we didn't know. But then that would go against everything I am writing about.

"No," I said to my reluctant friends. "No, he is welcome like you are welcomed." They were not happy. That is, not until he showed up and started playing my drum kit like a pro. A jam session ensued, smiles were created and six hours disappeared too quickly.

Who are you saying "No" to that might change your day?

But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

They replied, “We are able.”
