Things Look Different

I think you could ask three people who all saw the same thing to describe what they saw and they'd all tell you something different.  The basics of the event would probably be the same, but the details would be different, unique to the individual...After all, what they saw would depend on how tall they were--how much they could or couldn't actually see; how old they were--a person's age influences their ability to interpret and then communicate what they've seen; and also, how closely they were involved in what it was that happened--if 'it' happened to them, they will retell the events significantly differently than the person who was standing nearby or who was napping on a porch swing down the street.  Right? Well, that's the kind of stuff I think I'll write about here.  Different views...for example, I wonder if the people who lived in the house that Jesus & the disciples had their last supper in had kids...If they did, I wonder what it was like for those kids to have Jesus in their house.  What did they think, how did their parents walk them through the events that followed in the next few days?  Jesus was arrested and crucified...and then rose again three days later...What did the kids think? How did they process that?  I think I'll talk more about that with my next blog.
