Talitha Koum (Mark 5:41)
The Raising of Jairus' Daughter - Vasilij Dmitrievich Polenov Conversation built on gossip, rumors, they do not know what they say. Yet they spread grief because it makes their life more livable. They sing of sadness and cry out loudly, as is custom, like fools. They do not know, they do not care. Sleeping or dead, still they make a sorrowful noise in the courtyard. Do not dance with them, nor sing the dirge. Do not give in to a grief they can't even taste. Today sleep will overcome the grave. The words will be spoken, "Talitha Koum!" and the child will wake. copyright 2024 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
