Today we get to the end of the 2nd chapter of Mark and dissect versus 23 to 28.  Here Jesus disciples are eating the grain heads on the Sabbath as they travel through fields.  The Pharisees see them doing such and ask Jesus about his disciples’ behavior.    Jesus helps us with his answer see that while in a past stage of development we deeply need community rules and boundaries, in later stages we develop a deep inner morality that allows us to navigate the world without being bound to such rule based systems and the rules within them.
