(credit: Varsha Salome)
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

How did you like the husk, son?
This is surely the nadir in the life of the prodigal son – all money gone, friends vamoosed, famine in the land and no food to eat. The party is well and truly over. Tormented by hunger pangs, he longed for swine feed – the husk. It is at that point that he comes to his senses.
What does it take to bring us back to God? Are we seeking that which will not satisfy us?
There is a place for us at the banquet!
