A Prophet has honor except!

“A prophet is not without honor except in his native place
and among his own kin and in his own house.” -Mark 6:4

We had a saying in consulting based on this scripture that you are not an expert unless you are at least 50 miles from home. Two weeks ago before a library talk, I couldn’t help but remember this scripture.

I drove my car from Wadsworth, Ohio to Kent, Ohio and back, just in case. It was 46 miles. I spent the hour before my talk driving around the neighborhood near the library until I had racked up 50 miles!

The talk went well.
