in discussing the wedding feast at cana yesterday, my priest pointed out that Christ didn't just turn water into wine - He turned it into better wine. He turned it into the top shelf stuff.
usually, as Scripture (and common sense) tells us, the reverse is true......you serve the best stuff first and then, when everybody's sloshed, you haul in the cheap junk.
my priest said that this is a metaphor for the afterlife......that the best is yet to come.
i think the best is yet to come but i think most of us live as though it's not. so tonight, i think i'll buy a really, really nice bottle of wine.
and i'll pretend it's water.
because really,
it is.
