I have this obsession with the soul and people keep telling me it's not important.  I keep insisting that it is saying that we are living souls but we act like our physical bodies represent who we really are.  As I was driving around today thinking of this dialogue a thought occurred.  How much time do we spend deciding what to wear and what to eat?  And how much time do we spend on the condition of our soul and what we feed it?  The answer should give us an idea of how we value our physical body which we will someday discard in contrast to how we value our eternal soul.  Even more telling is how much do we worry about our physical bodies compared to how much we worry about our soul?  Jesus tells us not to worry about what we wear because our Heavenly father will certainly provide for us.  Jesus points to how well dressed the birds of the air and the flowers in the field are.  We can go back to that first eviction and see that God was concerned that Adam and Eve were properly attired for the new world they would have to live in.  Yet we take jobs we don't like, do things that are against what we believe is right, vote for people solely because they promise to put more money in our pockets because we are so concerned for what we wear and what we eat.  Meanwhile we harbor resentment, unforgivenss, maybe even a little sliver of hate, knowing that they are cancers to our eternal souls.  It really makes you wonder what we really believe.  We all claim we want social justice, and an end to war, and we are quick to speak out for these causes but when we see the homeless and addict we cross over to the other side of the street.  If Jesus was telling the parable of the sheep and the goats today he would say the goats were saying "We marched in peace parades, we gave money to save the whales, we protested against fracking" and he would say to the sheep "when I was homeless you took me in, when I was an addict you gave me a place to rehab".  yet we ignore the homeless and addicts in our neighborhood.  There's nothing wrong with being against war, and saving whales and protecting the environment but they are all evidence of our concerns for the things of the physical world.  That homeless person or addict, who in some instances is a victim of war or some other form of physical abuse, is a soul without recourse.  He or she is the least among us today in our civilized society.  He or she is our best way to care for our soul by buying it the wedding gown it will need to wear for the wedding of God's son and His Bride for as the scriptures tell us: Love covereth an abundance of sin.
