Do we overcomplicate our life choices?

 Scripture: 2 Kings 5:1-14 and Psalm 30  •  Isaiah 66:10-14 and Psalm 66:1-9  •  Galatians 6:(1-6), 7-16 Luke 10:1-11, 16-20

I don't know about you, but a lot of times I tend to make things harder than they need to be. At first, I was put off by the topic of Debie Thomas' article , "Choosing What is Easy," but as I read how she interwove the story of the military leader Naaman's healing and Jesus sending out the seventy carrying no purse or sandals, speaking peace one on one, I get the point. Why do we over complicate, over think things? As in the healing of Naaman, what do we need to do for healing? What is the task, as we are sent out as followers of Christ to those we meet in our everyday lives? What do we need to do to accomplish the task?

I love the way The Rev. Jazzy Bostock uses the story of the healing of Naaman, luring us into the story through the eyes of the many characters in the story, and through them, inviting us into various prayers through the characters. Read her "Healing of Naaman"for prayers which lead to healing, and what needs healing. What do you pray for? What should we pray for?
