John
and Jesus
29The next day he saw Jesus
coming toward him and declared, "Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin
of the world! 30This is he of whom I said, 'After me
comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.'
31I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with
water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel."
32And John testified, "I saw the Spirit descending
from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33I
myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to
me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes
with the Holy Spirit.' 34And I myself have seen and
have testified that this is the Son of
God."

Whatever affects one
directly, affects all indirectly.
I can never be what I ought
to be
until you are what you ought
to be.
This is the
interrelated structure of reality.

Thursday evening we had a
wonderful treat!
Greg Mortenson, author of
Three Cups of Tea,
spoke at Evergreen High
School.
The turnout wasn't as
large as originally expected ...
perhaps because of
the very cold weather.

"Pennies for Peace" was
started in Wisconsin at a school where Greg's mother was
principal.
One of the main
Pennies for Peace groups today is in Evergreen, Colorado, as is one of
Greg's
main
organizers.
Evergreen Middle School
presented him with a check for $1502.11.
We'd never know how
high we are
till we are called
to rise;
and then, if we are
true to plan,
our statures touch
the sky.

Epiphany 2 ... 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
35The next day John again was standing with two
of his disciples, 36and as he watched Jesus walk by,
he exclaimed, "Look, here is the Lamb of
God!" 37The two disciples heard him say
this, and they followed Jesus. 38When Jesus turned and
saw them following, he said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to
him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you
staying?"
