What if

Today is Maundy Thursday in the Holy week. I have read passion story in the book of Matthew this morning, asked several questions with "what if". You might have asked the same questions like me. The questions are not that impressive but I was wondering what really would happen. The first question has occurred at a scene of Gethsemane when Jesus went out for serious prayers, the disciples fell asleep deeply. What if they did not fall asleep and really prayed deeply with Jesus? How about Peter? What if he really prayed that night then would he deny Jesus still three times? What if Jesus prayed to God only for removing his cup? Did God answer his prayer? I know that it sounds too simple to even answer. However, I have thought about them. What if Peter did not deny but said "I am one of Jesus' disciples?

Even though we know so well that we need to be careful what we say, it is very hard to control our mouth without our effort and disciplines .

A simbol of the retreat center at Lake Junaluska might be the cross on the hill. You can't miss it not seeing the one unless you only look down floor all the time. It is made on the hill toward the lake and mountains and it is decorated with many lights so you can see during the night too. I had moment to think about that cross related to my life. First of all, I thought about which way should be the first considering the cross; vertical line or paralle line? As we know, cross represents the redemption, salvation by Jesus Christ. He restored our relationship between God and people, as well as among people. However, it is very important to think about our priority to accept and live under the cross. If our priority leans on the relationship among people, it might leadto the byroad a lot. Some people calls "liberal" but I do not want to call it as "liberal". I can call it as hearts centered to people. For example, we love our neighbors first like ourselves. It sou...
