When John’s messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? Someone dressed in soft robes? Look, those who put on fine clothing and live in luxury are in royal palaces. What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written,“See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.” (Luke 7:24-27)

What did you go out to see?

A political leader? An entertainment celebrity? A sports hero? A famous author? A provocative scholar?

I read more than I go out to see. But I look for stories that - somehow - will explain the mystery of life.

What works? What does not work? Why?

How can I change my living, my choices, my attitudes to go a better way?
