Two “made-up” words to share the process Jesus engages in for today’s text, Matthew 5:21-37, and the process the church is invited into by that text. Rev. Cari shares that she “chickened out” of preaching on this text, when it has come up in the lectionary in years past, but this was the year!
 
Listen as she wrestles with the “occasionally lurid laundry list” Jesus shares in this portion of the Sermon on the Mount.
 
She also refers to a piece entitled “Me, Me, Me, Me, Me” by Frank Bruni in the New York Times last weekend.
