…together with the Parable of the Talents, is celebrated today, Holy Tuesday. As I’ve said before, I need to be certain that you, anonymous reader, are prepared for what lies ahead. Not everyone will receive a firm – but irrefutable – wake up call from G-d in the form of surviving an uncushioned, 30mph blow to the skull against the pavement on Jericho Turnpike. He could’ve easily taken & judged me that day. Let my (relatively limited) suffering and resulting blessings be a beacon for anyone reading this.
“Be prepared,” might sound ominous, if you’re afraid of what lies ahead, or if you grew up watching The Lion King. It should be optimistic, if you know that you’re ready. Anonymous reader, you will be doing us both a favor, once I know you are ready.
