Even after going through several translations and minimalist meforshim, we felt no closer to forming our own view on how to READ the pasuk, let alone explain it. But this provided us with a unique opportunity to practice learning a pasuk we couldn't confidently read. Miraculously, nearly everyone in the shiur arrived at a similar idea - each with a different nuance - and this enabled us to make sense of what the pasuk was saying. We then learned three additional ideas from the meforshim. All in all, it was a rich yield, considering the difficulty we faced at first!-----מקורות:משלי טז:כותרגום רס"גמצודת ציון/דודרבינו יונהמאיריהואיל משה-----The Torah content for this week has been sponsored by my friend, Rabbi Dr. Elie Feder.

With just 19 games left, the Canucks are in a high-stakes playoff battle, needing to keep pace with Calgary and Utah in the standings. Rick Tocchet discusses the status of Thatcher Demko and Quinn Hughes, emphasizing the importance of beating Calgary to stay in control. Canucks management faced frustration at the trade deadline, missing opportunities with Brock Boeser and Pius Suter, while a reported contract offer to Boeser fell short. The episode also breaks down Elias Pettersson's inconsistency, Filip Chytil's impact, and Vancouver's struggles in the top six.

"Toiling Through the Night" - Luke 5:1-11 According to Luke Preached by Taylor Whitson at CityChurch Bristol on March 9, 2025.

Introduction Good morning, church. As we continue our journey through Ecclesiastes, we arrive at a passage that confronts us with a sobering reality: the futility of labor when disconnected from God's eternal purpose. The Teacher, Qoheleth, wrestles with the same questions that haunt many of us today:…

Through the wisdom presented in Ecclesiastes, we are reminded to examine the toil of our lives relying upon God with hope as we walk through each season.  

Thursday toiling tirelessly, trading tasks to thrive. Tenacious toil totaled tiny treasure.

The Cause Indonesia is called to preach the gospel of grace and Jesus-finished work

What am I even talking about. Toiling in obscurity part 3 is on YouTube right now probably https://www.youtube.com/@chrislakercomedy

התוכן [המשך] 2) העסק בגמ"ח צ"ל ע"פ תורה ("העוסק בתורה ובגמ"ח"). וכפי שראו בגרמני' שהיו אגודות של "צערי בעלי חיים" שלא יכלו לסבול שמצערים "חתול" או "כלב" ובאותה שעה התנהגו עם בני-אדם באופן הפכי לגמרי ר"ל, ועשו זאת באופן של "עסק" – כל היום כולו לא הפסיקו לחשוב כיצד לעשות צרות. ועוד דוגמאות: נתינת מאכל מתוק למי שהדבר מזיק לו; בנוגע לחינוך הבנים צ"ל לפעמים ה"שמאל דוחה" ואם אז "חושך שבטו [הרי הוא] שונא בנו" וכו'. ומזה מובן עד כמה נוגע שענין הגמ"ח לא יהי' בנוי על שכל אנושי אלא על התורה. ג) "ומתפלל עם בציבור": כפשוטו, וגם בפירוש החסידי – שאוסף את כל עשר כחות נפשו שיהיו במעמד ומצב "כעבדא קמי מרי'". וזוהי ההוראה מי"ט כסלו בנוגע לעצמו: תוספות חיות בהעבודה ד"עוסק בתורה ובגמ"ח ומתפלל עם הציבור". וזה מביא את ה"מסמך גאולה לגאולה" – מהגאולה די"ט כסלו לגאולה האמיתית והשלימה.משיחת יום ה' פ' וישב, י"ט כסלו ה'תשמ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=20-12-2024 Synopsis (Continued.) (2) Toiling “in acts of kindness” comes after “toiling in Torah,” and it must be done according to Torah: As we saw in Germany, where there were many groups advocating against cruelty to animals, who were unable to bear see a cat or dog suffer, but at the same time they treated human beings with utter cruelty Rachmana litzlan. And they “toiled” in it like a business – spending their whole day thinking of ways to cause suffering to other people. Another example is giving a candy to a child for whom it is dangerous; when it comes to educating a child, sometimes you need the “the left hand pushing away,” as the verse says, “He who holds back the rod hates his son” etc. From this we see how crucial it is that acts of kindness not be based on human intellect but rather on Torah. (3) “And one who davens with the congregation”: this means in the literal sense, and also in a deeper sense as explained in Chassidus: gathering all the ten faculties of the soul so that they all stand “like a servant before his master.” This is the directive of Yud-Tes Kislev regarding oneself: to add vitality to one's service of “Toiling in Torah and acts of kindness and davening with the congregation.” And in this way, we “juxtapose one redemption to another redemption” – from the redemption of Yud-Tes Kislev to the true and complete Redemption with the coming of Moshiach.Excerpt from sichah of Thursday, Parashas Vayeshev, 19 Kislev 5745.

התוכן כאשר מרחיבים את הדיבור אודות ענינים הנוגעים לעולם כולו, לפעול על כל בנ"י וגם על בני נח שיקיימו את המצוות שלהם, עלול לקרות שהאדם ישכח על עצמו... ובכן, עה"פ "פדה בשלום נפשי" אמחז"ל "אמר הקב"ה כל העוסק בתורה ובגמילות חסדים ומתפלל עם הציבור מעלה אני עליו כאילו פדאני לי ולבני מבין אומות העולם". ובענין צ"ל עבודת כאו"א בנוגע לעצמו. א) "העוסק בתורה": אדם שיש לו "עסק" אינו ממתין בביתו לקונים אלא הוא מתרוצץ לחפש קונים עד שפועל שיקנו את סחורתו, וגם אינו מסתכל על ה"שעון" – לא איכפת לו שגם לאחרי השעות בהם פתוח העסק יבואו לקנות את סחורתו, וגם בעת אכילתו ושתייתו מהרהר בעניני העסק (ואפילו חולם ע"ז). ועד"ז צ"ל אופן לימוד התורה – לא מתוך הכרח ועד כמה שמוכרח אלא "באהבתה תשגה תמיד". ב) "ובגמילות חסדים": 1) גם גמ"ח צ"ל באופן של "עסק" – אינו ממתין עד שהעני בא ולבקש ממנו גמ"ח אלא מצבו של הזולת נוגע לו כמו מצבו האישי [המשך יבוא].ב' חלקים משיחת יום ה' פ' וישב, י"ט כסלו ה'תשמ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=19-12-2024 Synopsis When a Jew is involved in such broad things like impacting not only the entire Jewish people, but even the non-Jews, to keep their mitzvos, he might forget about making sure his own conduct is in order. Here we have a lesson from the verse, “He redeemed my soul in peace…”, on which the Sages said: “The Holy One, blessed be He, said: Whoever toils in Torah and acts of kindness and davens with the congregation – I consider it as if they redeemed Me and My children from among the nations of the world.” (1) “Toiling in Torah” means toiling the same way as someone who owns a business: he doesn't wait at home for customers to come to him, but proactively goes out to find the customers and does everything he can to convince them to buy his goods. Moreover, the owner doesn't pay attention to the clock – he doesn't mind if customers come even after business hours. And he is so preoccupied with his business that he thinks about it even when eating and drinking, and even in his sleep. Similarly, this must be the approach to Torah study – not just “learning,” and not just like someone forced to do it, who does only the minimum required, but rather “toiling” in it – “he is always obsessed with its love.” (2) “And in acts of kindness”: Acts of kindness must also be conducted like a business – without waiting for the poor person to come and beg for tzedakah, but rather feeling the other person's situation as if it were his own and proactively seeking to alleviate it.

Ecclesiastes 4:4-12, 5:1-7

Rates of burnout are higher than ever before, and continue to head in the wrong direction. We have more inputs in a week than many people had in a lifetime 100 years ago. We have prehistoric brains in a futuristic world. So what's the answer? Professor Cal Newport argues that we need to embrace slow productivity. Instead of getting lost in busy-ness, and 'pseudo-productivity', we need to slow down and prioritise quality. We discuss the importance of doing fewer things to allow for deeper focus and better psychological, economic and creative outcomes. Saying yes to too many things leads to 'administrative overload'. Toiling at maximum capacity simply reduces our ability to make an impact. Cal shares tips on how to say no effectively, create time in your schedule, ways to reduce your cognitive load... and so much more. My book Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself draws on some of my favourite interviews over the last six years. In it, I seek to challenge our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and fulfilment are truly to be found. 'This book captures the magic of being in flow . . . Highly recommend' RONNIE O'SULLIVAN 'Entertaining and enlightening' MATTHEW SYED 'This book will challenge your thinking on what success truly is and will give you tools to "succeed" in life in the truest sense of the world. This is definitely not just another book about sport and those who happen to be good at it' -- GOLDIE SAYERS 'The intention behind this book is beautiful, and I highly recommend it' RUPERT SPIRA 'The best guide we have to what it means to be human' AMOL RAJAN Order here: https://www.simonmundie.com/book Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Champion-Thinking-Success-Without-Yourself/dp/1526626497/ Website: simonmundie.com YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/ Substack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Kyle is joined by his "favorite person in the whole wide world (!?)", Evan Torner. Which is fine. John is not the least bit jealous. He is just over here working his fingers to the bone editing this podcast. Toiling away on the show notes mines. It's fine. Everything is fine. But then at the end Kyle says he is sad John was not here, so John just does not know how to feel. They talk about D&D combat or something. Oh, and Matt is here. JK!

HT1886 - Private Work The real work of the artist all takes place outside of the spotlight. If a pianist doesn't enjoy practice, they will never be an accomplished performer. If a photographer doesn't love the darkroom or studio work, that will be obvious in their prints. Toiling away on one's own is the heart of the art life.

The Terrible Anvil Episode Fourteen: Starting OverHi, Friends!This week on The Terrible Anvil, Tom Hart and I dug deep on the topic of STARTING OVER. We noted there's a few different types of starting over:1) Restarting an old, old, project2) Starting a new project after you finish one you've been working on (or even working in a series or across multiple comics pages)3) Completely rethinking a project you have sunk a lot of enthusiasm and hours intoHave you ever started over? Tom said he sorta started over in his approach to his graphic novel, and also while he was working on an outline for a follow-up memoir that one small dream sequence within it became a longer series, B is Dying. I noted that I when I was making comics  about veterans, originally I envisioned myself as a character and removed myself once my personal narrative got too long and tangential to hook to the main story (it ended up being the idea for a different book that I didn't make!) Sometimes, particularly on freelance/shorter work, I will keep going to the finish line and use the information of what was less than ideal as inspiration for future comics. It's not a starting over but a way to gain insights into a better working process.Here's some gems from the chat, and thanks Meg Lentz our fabulous note taker!Oneita brought up a good question:What about starting over in the middle of what you are doing for a deadline but still be true to the pitch? Like how close do the thumbnails have to be to the pitch?  What if I'm veering too far away from my pitch? And I don't like my pitch anymore?I was thinking that the best course might be to #keepgoing and get it over with, and then take those desires forward to the next project. And keep your collaborators informed if you really veer off topic! But mostly, I just try to finish stuff quickly and Tom Hart said book publishing editors are more committed to getting a book rather than the exact thing you pitched!Tom talked about building a personal archive of ideas to mine later - maybe that book proposal didn't  "work out" but there's a lot of good stuff to revisit!In thinking about the big scary restart, I mused that rather than starting over on my projects, I usually just stop to clarify what I'm working on and being more intentional + specific - letting go of the things that don't serve the main goalJim Hamilton shared: I plan on using the upcoming Graphic Novel Intensive to decide whether an idea I have has legs. I think maybe it won't, but it may take me in some other worthwhile direction.Carole McKee Armen observed that: Getting feedback from valued critique partners can lead to a difficult decision whether or not to “start over” or stay the course(Tom mentioned this awesome 'cinema shack' by the filmmaker Agnes Varda)Tom Hart also talked about The Garden of Unfinished Projects - a playground where one could keep dreaming with other cartoonists about the nascent beanpoles of ideas quietly mulching in the comics backyard, getting bigger and riper.Tom and myself both noticed the magic of thinking about PROCESS with others (versus PRODUCT, the final work). Tom said he's curious about the future of art and wonders if projects have to have clear beginnings middles and ends, or if they can be more about creating something and being in the company of others.There's always opportunities for starting over in a variety of ways. Doubt is an important part of the creative process (I joked that "doubt is the sexy part of faith" haha.)We also thought about TOILING (it's value and maybe enjoyment?) and FROLICKING...I asked Tom Hart: Starting vs starting over - what's harder? are they the same thing? Tom says starting is harder - there's more uncertainty and insecurity. A big takeaway from this Tom mentioned: Don't start from scratch, don't start with a blank page! What sort of artsy detritus can you unearth from your garden of ideas? Maybe start there first, less pressure, more fun.There's lots more fun on the podcast, you can catch recordings via SAW's awesome YouTube channel and wherever you stream podcasts. Next week, we're talking about COLLABORATING!Happy Making!

Sermon by Dean Allen from Acts 20:34-35

On Today's show  we serve up a side of skepticism on fitness devices that claim the world but leave us questioning their worth. Samuel Weeks, Andrew Jack Rose, and I (Michael Jones De Silva, or Gordon if you're feeling familiar), gather around the mic to share a dubious encounter with a wellness guru, and the even more dubious claims of a microcurrent therapy device. But it's not all side-eyes; we dive into the real science behind muscle growth strategies, the German body re-composition method, and even share a fantasy of a world without grueling gym sessions - replaced by the siren call of passive workout machines.Finally, we get personal and ponder how ritualizing our activities, like gulping down protein shakes, has become a reflex in the fitness world. Blending fun with fitness and reminding everyone that pumping iron isn't the only way to stay in shape. So, lace up those dancing shoes, or hit the gym, or maybe just find a comfortable spot to tune in – because this episode will flex your mind, tickle your funny bone, and maybe, just maybe, change the way you think about fitness, feuds, and flatbreads.

“Increasingly, people are deskless,” says Lee Essex of Tango Networks. “They're hybrid workers. They work from home, they're out in the field, or they just don't have an office anymore.” In this short podcast, Lee previews his coming talk at the Cloud Connections event. “I'm here to help you solve problems. From this point of views, let's just have a chat. You know, you've got a problem, you've got an inquisitive mind, or you want to explore something. Let's do that. Let's have some fun with the session.” Lee will be participating in the Cloud Mobility Revolution: Revealing the Power of Mobile Connectivity session. Lee also tells us about what he and his team at Tango Networks do. “We've done this with a lot of the major UC providers, but recently in the past 18 months to two years, we've been focusing a lot of our work with what I would call the industry leaders for a number of reasons, Microsoft, and Cisco. But we are all about working with those vendors to produce a native mobile experience for their subscribers. And when I say a native mobile experience, it's probably worth me taking just a few minutes to explain why.” Watch this shot podcast and learn about Tango. Attend this session to.

We continue through Ecclesiastes and talk about working for the next thing.

We bust some brackets this week in honor of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, with a look back at the old East Coast Athletic Conference and the coaching cradle of city of Boston - with return (Episode 237) guest Clayton Trutor ("Boston Ball: Rick Pitino, Jim Calhoun, Gary Williams, and the Forgotten Cradle of Basketball Coaches").   Before the formation of the original Big East Conference in 1979, much of DI college basketball in the US Northeast and Mid-Atlantic was part of a loose patchwork of small conferences and independents that collectively fed into the not-really-a-conference ECAC umbrella for post-season playoffs, helping winnow at-large bids for a still-small NCAA tournament.    Trutor helps set the stage through the early-career Boston exploits of three eventual Hall of Fame coaches:   "Before Pitino became the face of the Providence, Kentucky, and Louisville programs, before Calhoun turned UConn into a national power, and before Williams brought Maryland to its first national championship, all three of these coaches cut their teeth in front of modest-sized crowds in the crumbling college gymnasiums of Boston during the 1970s and early 1980s. "'Boston Ball' charts how this trio of coaches, seemingly out of nowhere, started a basketball revolution: Pitino at Boston University, Calhoun at Northeastern University, and Williams at Boston College. Toiling in relative obscurity, they ignited a renaissance of the “city game,” a style of play built on fast-breaking up-tempo offense, pressure defense, and board crashing.  Pitino, Calhoun, and Williams took advantage of the ample coaching opportunities in 'America's College Town' to craft their respective blueprints for building a winning program and turn their schools into regional powers, and these early coaching years served as their respective springboards to big-time college basketball."   + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/good-seats-still-avalable?ref_id=35106 SPONSOR THANKS: Newspapers.com (promo code: GSA20):  https://newspapers.com BUY/READ EARLY & OFTEN:  Boston Ball: Rick Pitino, Jim Calhoun, Gary Williams, and the Forgotten Cradle of Basketball Coaches (2023): https://amzn.to/3vtBrUX FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

You go and go and go some more, Toiling in so many different ways. PAUSE… It's easy to fall into a pattern, With no room for checking in. You see to the needs of so many others, And then forget to look within. PAUSE… Your heart is in the right place, Your intentions are the best. You don't mean to neglect yourself, As you do so much work without rest. PAUSE… But the time has come to make a change, To turn your attention inward. Use this time, this twilight time, To recoup what's been deferred. PAUSE… Start by being still and quiet, Let your body slow its pace. From mind to heart to muscles and cells, Give yourself some space. PAUSE… Listen to sound of your breathing, Tune into the gentle beat of your heart. Hear your body's music, As you let the background noise depart. PAUSE… When you feel in touch with your rhythm, When you feel calm and serene, Let your mind drift where it wants, See what secrets are begging to be seen. PAUSE… Look at the things you've held out of sight, As you've rushed to keep up with the world. Look for what needs your attention, For the thoughts that have gone unheard. LONG PAUSE… Think about what's been missing for you, In recent days and weeks. Think about what fell to the bottom of the list, As the squeaky wheel got its grease. PAUSE… It's only human nature, To respond to what calls your name. But when those calls never seem to cease, It's your spirit that feels the pain.

PAUSE… Use this time at the end of each day, To bring your thoughts back to you. Choose a yearning that went unseen, And make a promise to see it through. PAUSE… Tune in to what your soul is whispering. Listen to what it's prompting you to do. Imagine how it would feel to take a leap, To explore something exciting and new. PAUSE… Even more than the novelty, What matters is the choice. To hear what your spirit needs from you, Is the first step toward hearing your voice. PAUSE… It takes quite a bit of practice, To make yourself a priority. But each tiny step has massive power, Each one gives more authority. PAUSE… Though life would have us ignore these clues, To do so takes a toll. Once you learn to consult yourself, You're on the path to being whole. LONG PAUSE… It's all about getting started, About taking the time for yourself. To learn what you need and embrace it, Even when the world demands something else. PAUSE… If you're truly honest with yourself, Much of what you need comes as no surprise. Whether a longtime yearning or a recent must, You've likely been ignoring the signs. PAUSE… Time just feels so limited, Growing shorter each day and year. It's a difficult job to prioritize tasks, And your desire to do it all is sincere. PAUSE…

Close your eyes and take a breath, And clear all thoughts from your mind. PAUSE… You've been working so very hard, For hours and likely days. You go and go and go some more, Toiling in so many different ways. PAUSE… It's easy to fall into a pattern, With no room for checking in. You see to the needs of so many others, And then forget to look within. PAUSE… Your heart is in the right place, Your intentions are the best. You don't mean to neglect yourself, As you do so much work without rest. PAUSE… But the time has come to make a change, To turn your attention inward. Use this time, this twilight time, To recoup what's been deferred. PAUSE… Start by being still and quiet, Let your body slow its pace. From mind to heart to muscles and cells, Give yourself some space. PAUSE… Listen to sound of your breathing, Tune into the gentle beat of your heart. Hear your body's music, As you let the background noise depart. PAUSE… When you feel in touch with your rhythm, When you feel calm and serene, Let your mind drift where it wants, See what secrets are begging to be seen. PAUSE… Look at the things you've held out of sight, As you've rushed to keep up with the world. Look for what needs your attention, For the thoughts that have gone unheard.   Take a breath and savor it, enjoy the chance to breathe. Exhale that breath and feel release, the kind your body craves. LONG PAUSE… Think about what's been missing for you, In recent days and weeks. Think about what fell to the bottom of the list, As the squeaky wheel got its grease. PAUSE… It's only human nature, To respond to what calls your name. But when those calls never seem to cease, It's your spirit that feels the pain. PAUSE… There's a special kind of exhaustion, That results from over-serving. Once it starts, it's tough to stop, And even harder to feel deserving. PAUSE… Though it may seem scary to make a change, It doesn't have to be drastic. Instead of throwing things out of your life, You can try a softer tactic. PAUSE… Use this time at the end of each day, To bring your thoughts back to you. Choose a yearning that went unseen, And make a promise to see it through. PAUSE… Tune in to what your soul is whispering. Listen to what it's prompting you to do. Imagine how it would feel to take a leap, To explore something exciting and new. PAUSE… Even more than the novelty, What matters is the choice. To hear what your spirit needs from you, Is the first step toward finding your voice. PAUSE… It takes quite a bit of practice, To make yourself a priority. But each tiny step has massive power, Each one gives more authority. PAUSE… Though life would have us ignore these clues, To do so takes a toll. Once you learn to consult yourself, You're on the path to being whole.   Breathe in and imagine being whole, the fulfilled being you're meant to be. Breathe out and know it's possible, that you need only hear your own plea. LONG PAUSE… It's all about getting started, About taking the time for yourself. To learn what you need and embrace it, Even when the world demands something else. PAUSE… If you're truly honest with yourself, Much of what you need comes as no surprise. Whether a longtime yearning or a recent must, You've likely been ignoring the signs. PAUSE… Time just feels so limited, Growing shorter each day and year. It's a difficult job to prioritize tasks, And your desire to do it all is sincere. PAUSE…

00:00-25:00: Boston Ball author Clayton Trutor joins the show. From Amazon: Rick Pitino, Jim Calhoun, and Gary Williams played no small role in the making of modern college basketball. Collectively, they've won more than 2,300 games and six national championships and reached thirteen Final Fours. All three have been enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Pitino, Calhoun, and Williams each spent more than two decades on the national stage, becoming celebrities in their own right as college basketball and March Madness became a multi-billion-dollar industry. Before Pitino became the face of the Providence, Kentucky, and Louisville programs, before Calhoun turned UConn into a national power, and before Williams brought Maryland to its first national championship, all three of these coaches cut their teeth in front of modest-sized crowds in the crumbling college gymnasiums of Boston during the 1970s and early 1980s. Boston Ball charts how this trio of coaches, seemingly out of nowhere, started a basketball revolution: Pitino at Boston University, Calhoun at Northeastern University, and Williams at Boston College. Toiling in relative obscurity, they ignited a renaissance of the “city game,” a style of play built on fast-breaking up-tempo offense, pressure defense, and board crashing. Part of a fraternity of great coaches—including Mike Jarvis, Kevin Mackey, and Tom Davis—they unknowingly invented Boston Ball, a simultaneously old and new path to the top of college basketball. Pitino, Calhoun, and Williams took advantage of the ample coaching opportunities in “America's College Town” to craft their respective blueprints for building a winning program and turn their schools into regional powers, and these early coaching years served as their respective springboards to big-time college basketball. Boston Ball is the story of how three ambitious young coaches learned their trade in the shadow of the dynastic Celtics, as well as the story of how the young players—in their recruitment, relationships, and basketball lives—made these teams into winners.

2023 Fall Annual Meeting. Visiting minister Elder Neil Honea considers the account of Jesus walking on the water. In spite of the great calamity on the sea of Galilee, Jesus had not forsaken them. Jesus saw them toiling in the storm. Their suffering and toil in the storm was not overlooked but was seen by […]

Sleep is non-negotiable. It's the easiest way to reset your brain and body, but most Americans don't get enough of it.

A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Rufus and Alexander, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. — Mark 15:21 After I stocked up on supplies, my pack felt heavier as I made the long climb to Blackrock Hut on the Appalachian Trail. It was Good Friday, and as I struggled a bit, I was reminded of the terrible weight Simon of Cyrene had to carry on the first Good Friday long ago. The Bible tells us very little about Simon. We learn that he was from Cyrene, a Greek city in North Africa, and that he had two sons. We don't know what had brought Simon to Jerusalem, but we do know that some Roman soldiers forced him to carry Jesus' cross. That grotesque instrument of torture could have weighed as much as 165 pounds (75 kg). Toiling through the narrow streets of Jerusalem, Simon walked along near Jesus as he staggered toward execution outside the city. We don't know what Simon thought about him, but what a sight Jesus must have been—exhausted, bleeding, and mangled from being flogged, humiliated, and brutalized. Though he carried the heavy cross, Simon may well have felt more sorrow for Jesus than for himself. We too should feel sorrow for Jesus. Even more, we can be thankful for his costly love. And just as he gave himself for us, he calls us to choose his path of costly love and to follow him. Lord Jesus, we can't imagine the pain and suffering you bore for our sin. Help us to love and serve you with all of our hearts. Amen.
