Ortberg on Orientation
Here's a delightful rhetorical question from John Ortberg's Who Is This Man?:
The quickest and most basic mental health assessment checks to see if people are “oriented times three”: whether they know who they are, where they are, and what day it is. I was given the name of Jesus’ friend John; I live in the Bay area named for Jesus’ friend Francis; I was born 1,957 years after Jesus. How could orientation depend so heavily on one life?
How indeed?
