I read this today in The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis and it fit really well with what I taught on tonight, Matthew 9:9-13. It's been bouncing around in my mind all day.
This is my endlessly recurrent temptation: to go down to that Sea (I think St. John of the Cross called God a sea) and there neither dive nor swim nor float, but only dabble and splash, careful not to get out of my depth and holding on to the lifeline which connects me with my things temporal.
It really makes you rethink what it means to call oneself a disciple and to follow Jesus, no strings attached, wherever he leads...
