The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him,
"Follow me."
In a similar way, with a society without great moral heroes, it's difficult to maintain your moral
bearings if you don't keep your focus on Jesus.
(John 1.43
NRSV)
Some tourists were visiting a West Virginia Coal Mine and were preparing to go down into the
mine. One of the ladies was wearing a very dainty, pure white dress. The other people in the
party said, "You're surely not going to wear that white dress down into the mine." So she asked
the coal miner who was leading the excursion if it was alright for her to wear her white dress
down there. His answer was, "There's nothing to keep you from wearing your white dress down
into this mine. There is a considerable amount to keep it from being white when you come back
up."
Dear Jesus, help me to keep my focus on you. Amen.
