Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Have you ever had an ear worm? You know what that is -- a tune, or a jingle, or a song that worms its way into your ear and you can't get rid of it. And this too -- a mind worm. That's not a song or a jingle but a thought that gets stuck in your head. Maybe it's a worry in your life, a problem, from work, or an assignment at school that you just keep thinking about and con't stop. Or how about this, I'm going to make another one up -- a heart worm. That would be a desire that worms its way into your heart. Something you want so badly that it begins to take over your life. This seems to be what happened to the disciples of Jesus. They wanted to be the greatest.
