It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

Reflection on Amos 5:6-7, 10-13

Amos threatens--do what you are supposed to do or the Lord will devour you with an unquenchable fire.

He describes the acts of injustice that will bring the nation to an end: trampling the rights of the poor and overtaxing the poor.

A possible modern-day illustration in the U.S. could be derived from the debate over how to ensure that the poor can be insured; e.g.,
Health Care Reform.
