\nQuestion for reflection:<\/span><\/strong>
\nNo, actually I don\u2019t understand yet. I have a question. I always have one more question. There is one little bit I would like clarified, explained, and reviewed. I remember the loaves and the fishes, but I don\u2019t know how it was done. And I want to see it done again. I want to hear the story again. I want to understand \u2013 I really am trying to understand.<\/em> And I\u2019m not the only one.<\/em> The disciples, who there and got to talk to Jesus still didn\u2019t understand. They were at the last supper, they had their feet washed, they saw the crucifixion, and ate with the resurrected Jesus and still had questions. They still didn\u2019t quite \u201cget it\u201d.<\/p>\n
\n– Has that understanding changed with new information or more maturity?
\n– How do we move forward with the confusion and unknowing?
\n– How would \u201cunderstanding\u201d change our actions?<\/p>\n
\nGod, I pray for the peace that passeth understanding. Amen.
\nP.S. I would still like to understand! <\/i><\/p>\n
