Even in the BCP the reading is long today. I can't remember St. Peter's denial being so strong. He swore he doesn't know Jesus. He even says that God can punish him if he is lying! I can't recall it being so extreme. Wow Peter. I feared for him as I read the words. Yikes.

Foot Washing II
We should wash one another's feet, just as we should forgive one another of their sins.
Freud, help!
I had a dream last night that I was at 243 Welling St., sleeping on the front porch. My Team Leader and Lead Hand showed up to pick up their kids and were walking between the houses to the side door. I think work is really bothering me.

Foot Washing
Keeping in mind the 65th Psalm and how strong my sin is, I wonder about the foot washing passage in the Gospel according to St. John. If we are baptised in Christ and it makes our whole body clean, is it only our feet that sin makes dirty as they are walking in the world? Our feet make contact with the dirt of the Earth. Is it only our feet that need cleaning as Christ forgives all our sins and makes us clean already?
Keys to The Temple
Being asked to return the key breaks the connection and gives my time there an air of finality.
65
I read the 65th Psalm yesterday. I love how it says that we come to God because of our sin and how sin is stronger than we are. It gives me comfort how this is actually recognized in the Bible.

We don't understand how Blacks of the early 20th Century were treated, how they had to live--especially race baters. It was barbaric, violent, and beyond unfair. We are likening things like Unconscious Bias to conspiracy and collusion. They are miles apart. There never would have been a Black President in the first half of the 20th century.
