Completing our sermon series last week on The Five Practices of Fruitful Living, we now return this Sunday to the Revised Common Lectionary, looking specifically at Mark 10:46-52; a familiar and beloved story to many readers of the Bible. Jesus' years of ministry are drawing to a close as he and his disciples begin leaving Jericho, making their way to Jesus' last stop in Jerusalem. But before they can depart Jericho, a beggar named Bartimaeus calls out to Jesus, seeking healing of his blindness. This would be Jesus' final healing in Mark's gospel, as he restores the blind man's sight. But we will hear on Sunday that Bartimaeus wasn't the only one who regained vision that day. Hymn writer Clara H. Scott gives us wonderful words to pray as we prepare for worship this Sunday: Open my eyes that I may see, glimpses of truth thou hast for me...Open my eyes illumine me, Spirit divine. Amen.

In 1895, "Open My Eyes, That I May See" was published as part of a collection of hymns by Mrs. Clara H. Scott. Clara Scott made history as the first woman to have a full book of her own compositions published, and later, two more song collections of hers were published, one a book of hymns. Of the many songs she wrote and composed, the only one she remains known for is "Open My Eyes, That I May See." Her life was cut short at age 66 in an accident involving a runaway horse and buggy.
