Even as you hit the fast lane of life with furious strides that brook no brakes, won’t you pause a moment to grab a grain of scriptural truth embedded herein ? (click on hypertext in the Day’s Reading for reference verse)
No obligations! You are of course perfectly at liberty to skip these Readings altogether. Should that be your choice, go ahead – save 30 seconds!
God bless

Throw the first stone!
You’d better think twice before accusing somebody in Jesus’s presence. The teachers of the religious law and the Pharisees were constantly looking for opportunities to find fault with the common people – self-appointed religious police ferreting out erring elements.Their sadistic pleasure in this pursuit was doubled in this instance as it involved Jesus; they saw a glorious chance to trap Him.
But they reckoned without His divine wisdom! Jesus quite calmly turned the tables on them and the gang of accusers quietly evaporated.
Examine yourself before pointing the finger at others!
