Yesterday's reading for Lent was Mark 8:1-10, and today's continued through the end of the chapter. Jesus had been teaching for 3 days, and people had been listening. Can you imagine people stopping their lives--not even breaking for a meal--to listen to someone speak? After three days, Jesus tells the disciples to find these poor people food. He had compassion on them.

"Uh, yeah, Jesus?"

"Yes?"

The disciples look over their shoulders at the crowd. "We don't have any food."
