Easter Week: Tuesday | Matthew 28 (16-20)

Greetings, Duffy in Vermont :)

With our reading of the Great Commission, we have reached the end of the Gospel of Matthew in N.T. Wright's Lenten Year A Commentary. Although Wright backtracks into some earlier sections of Matthew's Gospel through Saturday of this week, I believe today is the best time for me to end my daily blogging on Wright's commentary. His treatment of the Great Commission is truly exceptional and feels like the perfect way to close for now.  

I could get started on a lengthy discussion of the Greek word "eon" and how this relates to the transition between the Piscean and Aquarian Ages, but that will have to wait for another time. 

My Eastertide transition to a more disciplined calendar and communications platform continues, and that means I have a hard 9:55 AM stop ahead of me for work on this blog post this morning!

My budget for formal written and oral communication specifically with the local, regional and world Christian Church is only 10 hours per week this Eastertide: Sundays-Thursdays, 8-10 AM. This will be very challenging for me to maintain. It's even more rigorous than my Lent warm-up. But it feels like a necessary experiment in monastic focus. I will need to balance phone calls, emails, and blog posting. 

Lord, we thank you for today's blessings. Watch over your disciples in Vermont, New York, North America and the world as we work out Your Great Commission.
