My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.
Jesus did not cure Bartimeus. Rather, he announced that faith had saved him, something of which he may not always have been aware and only came to recognize in this moment. Saving is not done to anyone. Instead it is acknowledged.
