Our readings today at St. Mark’s and All Saints, Buffalo, NY, are Proverbs 31: 10-31, Psalm 1, James 3:13-4:3, 7-8a, and Mark9:30-37. We hear about how Jesus responds when his disciples are more concerned about greatness than the journey ahead. We learn that despite missing the mark, God wants our “yes” to Him and Beloved Community more than for us to be perfect.
