Something's missing here!
Many of us have heard the phrase "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." [Mark 12:30] We sing a song at our church that includes these four dimensions. So, when we come to this week's verse, we notice that something is missing. What happened to "mind"? In the New Testament, Jesus simply elaborates on the original command in the Old Testament. Each of the words--heart, soul, mind, strength--really mean the totality of who we are.

I can hear Brent Brooks saying this with his very Hebrew-English accent with such emphasis on the word all. Good verse...gentiles should also teachit and have their children memorize it as much as Jews do.
This is nothing about the verse but I would love to hear the story behind "Roach Mama"
