I was accused, this week, of being a maverick. I say accused because it certainly wasn't meant as a compliment. However, I stand guilty as charged. Mavericks think independently. Mavericks don't always follow the rules. That means that mavericks can be human and compassionate. So, maybe not the first term I would use to describe myself but, hey, I'm proud to be a maverick and no amount of name calling or Pharisaic judgmentalism will persuade me to change.
I always thought that maverick refered to a "steer" that didn't just fall into what the heard did. Don't see the problem, chum. Is that not your calling??? Now, as you know, I'm no learned scholar but were the Pharisees not obsesed by the law? Were they not the folk who couldn't move forward because they had the power and didn't want to let go?
ReplyDeleteAppart from all that, do I not recall Jesus saying something about this?
