Luke wrote that Jesus had intended
to pass right on through Jericho. We had a neighbor here who used to take
tourists through Jericho. He saw a good reason for passing through Jericho quickly.
With it being the world's lowest lying city, its heat was awful, and its flies were
large and persistent.
To match the annoyance of
Jericho's heat and flies I have a neighbor with a dog that barks all day. I am
lucky in having plenty of sins to atone
for.
Seriously, yesterday's Gospel's
the picture of the blind man who spent all his days squatting with the heat, with
the giant flies, and the roadside dust should have us over and over making the
best of things.
As for making the best of
things, have you ever done anything like climbing a tree to see Jesus passing?

I being of sort stature myself can relate to Zaccheus. He was rewarded for his persistence.
