WRONGFULNESS
Jesus was right about righteousness.
The Pharisees were wrong about Jesus –
thinking he was wrong about what was right.
Right? Or does that seem wrong?
Practice wrongfulness. Sit in the back seat
when you come to pray. Say few words.
Be like little children. Turn the other cheek
when someone tries to slap you down.
Go the extra mile when someone forces
you to go one mile. Love those who think
you think they’re your enemies. Surprise
them by loving them with your whole heart,
mind, soul and strength. Don’t throw
rocks at people you think are wrong.
Share your bread with the hungry.
Hoarded bread can turn to rock.
Broken bread brings broken people
Into communion with each other.
