So greetings from your hometown! (It is overcast, surprisingly.) Thanks for providing the context of this scripture. I had read it previously in isolation. It's a wonderful reminder of what kingdom we are citizens of--not empire, not nations, not a culture of greed and self-fulfillment first. Thanks for bringing the perspective I needed before preaching this Sunday. Brian, I am sitting in a Seattle coffee shop right now, reading your meditation. So greetings from your hometown!

May God give you more wisdom as you grow in him. Thank you for the reminder that our minds should be with the “true” end in sight and in spite of suffering to stand firm.
