Lost In It

Greeting Friends:
Sorry that I have not posted for a few days. To be honest I have been lost in my reading of the book. I have been enjoying it too much to stop and share any comments.

In a recent reading I found something that I find funny and sad at the same time. The writer is talking about how starstruck people are about what has been happening in the lives of these people and the community where they are endeavoring to act as Jesus would. It is almost as if these people are looked as some sort of circus side show, "Come and see what is going on in the town of Raymond."

Why is it that living as Jesus would live whether we are talking about 1908 or 2008, would seem strange to us? Shouldn't there be a note of sadness in our hearts that being like Jesus is not the norm even for those who profess Christian faith?
