II Corinthians 8:7-15

Thoughts:       Andrea del Sarto was a successful painter – successful, but not exciting. As he admitted, “All is silver gray -  placid and perfect with my art: the worse!”
He is married to a beautiful, much younger woman, who often goes out to meet her “cousin.”
Andrea admires his wife’s physical perfections, concluding sadly, “But had you . . . with these the same, but brought a mind!”
Paul reminds the Corinthians that first, they need willing minds.
Discussion:      What does your mind shrink from learning?
 
Activity:          Learn one new word each day. You might start with “byzantine.”
