there's the way i was before
but i can't recall how i was those days anymore The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark ! Jesus comes back home, but after everything he’s been up to, the hometown crowd isn’t so sure about him. In fact, there are even some who are accusing him of being out of his mind; or more literally, outside of himself … That’s the way the life of faith always looks from the outside, though. Just ask Paul; as he says, the life of faith is a life spent looking toward what cannot be seen; to the world that kind of life looks crazy. Or, for that matter, just ask Martin Luther. Luther lived with the acute awareness that he could not get himself to do the will of God; that deep down his and God’s will were at odds … Faithful fellow that he was, though, he did everything the church had to offer in the way of doing God’s will. The problem, as Luther came to find, was that nothing from the blasted religious-project actually worked , nothing could reconcile his will to God...
