Did you see River Runs Through It? It’s based upon a book by Norman Maclean about his family, one of two sons of a Presbyterian pastor. At the end of the book, he looks back on his life. His parents and brother are all gone. He is alone standing on the edge of the river he spent his childhood, fishing. He says he is haunted by the waters. They hold the mystery of his life. They tell the story. I am haunted by something. I want to share that this weekend as we reflect back over 12 weeks on the teachings of Jesus and what I believe drove Jesus as he challenged his disciples. He wanted more than anything for his disciples to get what it takes to live the life of the disciple from Luke 14:25-35.
