What's on Your Mind Jesus? (Mark 8: 14-21)

After getting into a debate with the Pharisees, Jesus gets into a boat and heads for the far shore. He must have really been upset because in the boat, he told his disciples, "Watch out, guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."


It just so happened that the disciples had forgotten to bring bread so they thought Jesus was referring to the fact that they didn't have bread. The disciples were probably preoccupied themselves with the fact that they didn't have bread. 


We're so used to coming to God with our petitions. Maybe one lesson we can draw from today's Gospel is to forget about our immediate concerns and ask God once in a while, what's on your mind?
