Anne Lamott writes that "Holding on to resentment is like eating rat poison and waiting for the rat to die." It became obvious to me this week, and during our reflection time last week, that we were not done with Luke 15 and needed a part 3. (Our viewership on the live-stream also doubled -so a chord was being struck.)The oldest son resembles Ann Lamott's remark and definitely needs some more attention in this parable because he is resentful, exhausted, not seen, bereft of humility, and seething with irritation that the younger son hogs the light for better or worse in interpretations of this text. Join us this Sunday for a deeper visit with the older son in the parable and in us as we take on, "The Dangers in Becoming the Prodigal Oldest: Managing Resentment, Practicing Forgiveness, Cultivating Humility, and Finding Joy (chara: χαρά). I look forward to being with you for the surprise 3rd part of our conversation. -Rev. Jeanne
