Haggai 1-2

(April 7, 2015)

                One of the things that I think we lose sight of – with our easy access – is just what a privilege it is to have a temple of God.  How many people have longed their whole lives to have a temple to visit?  How many Jews were born, lived, and died without the temple they knew was so important?  And yet we (and I put myself in that category) are so casual with our temple worship that it becomes a duty, or a burden, or is dispensed with altogether.

                I think that I need to better refocus my attention on the temple and to keep in mind just how lucky I am to have it in my life.
