A Super Callused Fragile Mystic
Mark 1:1-8

Most of us are familiar with Mahatma Gandhi (the great spiritual leader of India). As you know, he walked barefoot most of the time, which, I am told, produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. You realize what this made him?

A super callused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis.

Sorry. I just had to use that joke. I guess it is hard being a person of faith. When you take your faith seriously, people look at you funny. They treat you differently. You're not always part of the gang.
