Fall is in full swing up here in New Hampshire. There is no place in my imagination I'd rather be this time of year. It's my favorite season that leads right into the holidays. This week I talk about friendship. One of the most difficult lessons in life is that not everyone will like you and that you can not please everyone. Even Jesus Christ, the kindest, most wonderful person who ever lived had enemies. But he also had dedicated friends who loved him dearly. When you strive to be a Christian, you seek to be like Jesus. Sure we all fail at times, but when our hearts are filled with the love of God, our world becomes a wondrous world filled with love, and kindness, and loyal wonderful friends. Want to know where you can find friends like this? Listen to this podcast and I'll tell you.

Mark 6:14-29King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become known. Some were saying, ‘John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; and for this reason these powers are at work in him.' But others said, ‘It is Elijah.' And others said, ‘It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.' But when Herod heard of it, he said, ‘John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.' For Herod himself had sent men who arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because Herod had married her. For John had been telling Herod, ‘It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.' And Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed; and yet he liked to listen to him.But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and for the leaders of Galilee. When his daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, ‘Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it.' And he solemnly swore to her, ‘Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.' She went out and said to her mother, ‘What should I ask for?' She replied, ‘The head of John the baptizer.' Immediately she rushed back to the king and requested, ‘I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.' The king was deeply grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her. Immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John's head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.Many of you know of my penchant for crime dramas and documentaries. Not fictional horror stories, so much, but TRUE crime, the stuff that really happened –by and to real people. I'll watch any of it. I'm not saying it's normal. It may not even be natural or healthy. I don't know where it comes from and maybe I don't want to. When my kids were little I had to be careful about letting them see my Netflix history for fear of giving them nightmares.So, oddly enough, I just finished a book called Last Call about a serial killer whose calling card was the dismemberment of his victims. And just the other night I started watching a new documentary on Netflix about a woman in Brazil who pulled a Herod or Herodias, depending on who you blame for John's death in this morning's Gospel. This woman killed and beheaded her husband, among other things, and they made a movie about it.There's no moral, as such, to either of these stories really. But it amused me that I happened upon them both alongside this crazy, creepy, horrible story about Herod and Herodias and John the Baptist, literally losing his head, all in the span of a week or two.The story goes that Herod, the King, caught wind of this Jesus, from Nazareth, and about how he had started to gather disciples from out in the villages around Galilee. He gave those disciples authority over unclean spirits. He gave them some pretty detailed instructions, which we heard last week, about how to travel and where to go and what to do once they got there. And his followers hit the road and proclaimed the good news – they cast out demons and they healed people who were sick from all kinds of things.And along with everything Herod was hearing about Jesus, came all kinds of rumor and questions about how something too good to be true really could be. So, there was suspicion that Jesus was some kind of prophet, like Elijah or Elisha, or Amos or Micah from way back when. But Herod had this crazy fear that Jesus wasn't really Jesus at all … that he might be John the Baptist – whom Herod, himself, had had beheaded. Yeah. Herod thought Jesus was John the Baptist, come back from the grave.And so – maybe to prove that Jesus really was Jesus, or maybe just to tell a really good, gory, gruesome kind of story – the writer of Mark's Gospel goes into the details – he tells the backstory of just how Herod came to execute John the Baptist.See, like Jesus, John the Baptist, was preaching and teaching and proclaiming the Good News. He was baptizing down by the river. He was paving the way for the Messiah, in Jesus. He was demanding repentance and promising forgiveness. He was announcing the Kingdom of God, which, if you were a king, like Herod, would really get your attention, and make you worry some, and threaten your power even, if you didn't understand the difference between God's Kingdom and your own.And that's why Herod didn't like John the Baptist. He respected him, we're told. He regarded him as a holy, righteous man. He feared him because of it, even, enough that he wouldn't have him killed – as his wife had asked. But instead, Herod kept John imprisoned and under watch, like some kind of political prisoner who threatened the public order, or his power, or maybe his ego, if nothing else.But then, this creepy King Herod, who likes to watch his daughter dance at dinner parties, gets himself into a pickle. (Yeah. Some people believe it was that kind of dancing and that kind of creepy. And coming from someone who would marry his brother's wife, it's a pretty plausible perspective.) Anyway, when his daughter dances for the king and his guests, Herod tells her he'll give her whatever her little heart desires.So, maybe he'd had too much to drink. Maybe he was trying to show off for his friends. Maybe he was just so enamored by daddy's little girl, who knows? But when she runs out to ask mommy what she should take as her reward, her mother sees the opportunity to get what she's wanted all along. And that was revenge against John the Baptist for suggesting that her marriage to the King was unlawful, immoral, unrighteous, unseemly, whatever.So, Mrs. Herod gets her little girl to do her dirty work by asking daddy for John the Baptist's head – On. A. Platter. And when she does, King Herod has to oblige, because he'd already struck that deal. An oath was an oath. A promise was a promise. The King's word was the King's word – even for a creep like Herod; even when offered to a child; especially when proclaimed in the presence of other people. So, John the Baptist was as good as dead. And his head was delivered, that evening …on a platter …to the child … for her mother. (If only there were surveillance footage or DNA evidence of it all, Netflix would turn it into a four-part limited series I'm sure.)And like a titillating limited series on Netflix, there doesn't seem to be a moral to this story. On the surface it reads like not much more than some good, gruesome, gory kind of gossip – if you like that sort of thing. So what does any of this have to do with life or faith? Why is it part of the Gospel narrative? And why are we talking about it on Sunday morning in worship, for crying out loud?Well, smarter people than me have said it's no mistake that Mark tells the story as he does; that he places it where he does, right after Jesus sends his first disciples out into the world to begin their ministry and right before they return to hear more, to learn more, to be fed some more at the feet of their teacher.Among other things, this story reminds us that following Jesus isn't easy – even if you're as cool and as faithful as John the Baptist. Life as disciples can be hard. Proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom – stuff about repentance and the forgiveness of sins, the grace, mercy, peace and justice of God – isn't always what the world wants to hear, what people want to believe, what any one of us is always prepared – with faith or courage enough – to do. Kings and others in power might be fascinated and fearful of it so much, that it could cost you your head, after all.But the good news in all of this for us, still today, is the same Good News that John the Baptist proclaimed and promised and believed for himself, in spite of so much ugliness: that someone better was coming; that something bigger was on the way; that God, in Jesus Christ, would arrive and overcome and undo all the ugly, the gruesome, and the gory. That God, in Jesus, would offer grace where there is judgment; love where there is hatred; light where there is darkness; life where there is death, even. Because, Mark's Gospel really tells this story as a foreshadowing of what would happen to Jesus, himself, soon enough – at his crucifixion.Even Jesus Christ, the Messiah – especially Jesus, because he was the Messiah – wasn't removed from the dangers of the world around him. Jesus showed up to enter into all the ugly, fearful, ungracious ways of this world to let the rest of us know we could to – that we don't have to just be scared of all the drama or sadness or struggle or sin or injustice or dying that surrounds us so much of the time. We have good news to proclaim in the face of it.And when the struggle comes… when the sadness hits… when the loved one dies, when the marriage ends, when the friendship fails, when the you-know-what hits the fan we're reminded, not just that life in the world hurts – and that it's hard and unholy and unfair a lot of the time. We're reminded, too, that this is God's world. And it's into this world – where buildings collapse in the middle of the night; where presidents get assassinated in their own homes; where suicide wreaks havoc on a family; where too much tragedy seems to win too much of the time – it's into all of this struggle and sadness and sin and despair that God's love comes. And it's into this same world – and all of its darkness – that we are sent, too, with Good News and great hope and the abiding promise, that God's love for the whole of it wins every time, in the end – in Jesus Christ our Lord – crucified and risen for the sake of us all.Amen

We consider the principle of gifts of the Spirit and reflect on how we can discover our gifts.  John C Pingree: "[D]iscover and develop spiritual gifts. Heavenly Father gave us these gifts to help us identify, perform, and enjoy the work He has for us. Some of us wonder, 'Do I have any gifts?' Again, the answer is yes! 'To every man [and woman] is given a gift by the Spirit of God … that all may be profited thereby'. A number of spiritual gifts are documented in scripture but there are many others. Some might include having compassion, expressing hope, relating well with people, organizing effectively, speaking or writing persuasively, teaching clearly, and working hard. So how do we come to know our gifts? We can reference our patriarchal blessing, ask those who know us best, and personally identify what we are naturally good at and enjoy. Most important, we can ask God. He knows our gifts, since He gave them to us. As we discover our gifts, we have a responsibility to develop them. Even Jesus Christ 'received not of the fulness at first, but [developed] from grace to grace'.”

In a previous Insight, we discussed resemblances in vocabulary and phrasing between the prophetic call of Enoch in the Book of Moses and the account of Jesus’ baptism in the Gospels. We described evidence for the possibility that the authors of the New Testament gospels drew on older ideas present in ancient literature connected to the figure of Enoch when they composed their accounts. The post Insight #015: “The Son of Man, Even Jesus Christ, a Righteous Judge” (Moses 6:57) first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

[Comment: Offer the Suffering] Friends of the Rosary, Suffering is part of the human experience. No one is exempt. Everyone brings his own cross. Even Jesus Christ, the Man-God who came to free us from the slavery of sin, experienced a dramatic Passion and Death. For many, suffering leads to atheism and agnosticism, which ultimately results in a deeper pain. For Christians, torments should lead to a closer relationship with Jesus and Mary. How so? When we offer our suffering and sacrifices to Jesus, amazing things happen. St Paul, in his letter to the Colossians, said: “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake”. This is a mystery we all can experience. Let's pray today the five Sorrowful Mysteries. [Written by Mikel A | TheRosaryNetwork.org] [Video Podcast at TheRosaryNetwork.org]

Beloved, there are times when we experience feelings of lonliness, sometime feeling that we are left out, even though we love Jesus. It often presents itself as rejection, isolation, feeling excluded, whether real or imagined..it is uncomfortable! Yes, those experiences are common to all mankind. Even Jesus Christ experienced being left alone... John 16:32 King James Version (KJV) 32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me

Faith is a substance. It is not a figment of man's imagination, neither is it a psychological state of mind. From the reference above, it is substantial; it is a tangible "takeable", "handleable" force. Faith – Biblical faith, Christian faith – is something of substance, something solid and tangible. It’s the objective evidence in the here and now, of a bigger picture that goes beyond the here and now. The Bible makes us to understand that the “just shall live by his faith.” This means, it takes faith to be alive spiritually. It is therefore important to build our faith. The failure of one’s faith is the failure of such a person’s life. Even Jesus Christ had to pray that Peter’s faith would not fail. Therefore, I pray for you that your faith will not fail in Jesus’ name. Peter walked on water because his faith was at work but the moment his faith failed he started to sink. He then cried out to Jesus for help. Jesus helped him up and Peter walked back with Jesus to the boat. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked - Ephesians 6:16 "Taking the shield of faith." If faith is not a substance, you cannot take it. The fact that I said faith is a tangible force does not make it physical. It is definitely as real as the air we breathe, and equally invisible to the human eye. It is therefore a spiritual entity, a living force. It is the trigger that provokes supernatural interventions. It is beyond the mental sphere. True faith begins with God. And leads to a response in us.

The power of God is displayed in this wonderful story. But are you squandering the time God has given you on earth? God has given you a glorious day. Even Jesus Christ the son of God said I must work the works of Him that sent Me while it is day. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/135/29

Unfortunately, it's all too common in our wards and branches for someone to feel judged or excluded. Even Jesus Christ was the recipient of judgmental church members... In today's episode, we'll dig into how the Savior responded to those who were judging and what counsel he gave to his disciples (and to us) to deal with those situations. Questions: 1. How can you make sure you include those in your ward/branch, work, school, etc. who may feel judged or excluded?

How to handle conflict? Conflict is always there. If you have a dementia patient or a loved one with this condition, there will always be conflict and argument. Even Jesus Christ himself said, “I come into this world not to give peace, but to come and give trials and tribulation.” Conflict is always there. What you need is to know how to handle it. The first thing you need to do is to accept the fact that there’s always conflict in this world. Accept the fact that there will always be a misunderstanding. Especially when you are taking care of a dementia patient. Second is identifying the source of the conflict. What is the cause of their behavior? Why are they mad? Why are they upset? Why are they irritated? It could be a physical problem, an emotional problem. It could be that they are just irritated because they are uncomfortable. The third is learning how to embrace and to know, and learn from the actual conflict itself.
