    We are called not to trust in our own strength or power, but in God.

    THE WIDOW'S MIGHT There is a sly skill that many of us practice to varying degrees. It's called name-dropping. We want to impress others with who we know, because we feel that it reflects positively on us if we move in the right circles.

    The widow & the judge Its obvious what this is all about – yes? Actually just in case we didn’t get it, Luke tells us Jesus gave His own interpretation.
