This THursdayTHought was originally written in 2017 when I first adopted the header that you see, above. This 4 part series (yes, I said on three last week - I was wrong) strikes me as indicative of what Lent. Some of you will have read these before - some for the first time. In either case, thanks for reading.
I often play the active go-getter role. But, when it comes down to it, I am more like Adam up there then I want to admit.
Last week I wrote about how I had seen 2 new things in the Michelangelo painting which is now part of my THursdayTHoughts header. This is thing number one: apathy.
There is Adam, all relaxed on a hillside. He is leaning back, like he's had such a hard day. Can you imagine? Adam -- in the Garden of Eden -- having a hard day? What, was the river of life a bit to turbulent?
He's got this nonchalance about his face, like he has barely enough interest to look in that direction. And the direction? Into the face of God!
And while these postures of head and torso are telling, these are not what caught my attention for the first time two weeks ago. Nope. It was his index finger!
