At the jail, we started “Journey to Resurrection” yesterday. Which was Valentine’s Day. And also Ash Wednesday. And also my youngest child’s birthday. So lots of reasons to celebrate.

This is a storyboard for “The Anointing” story from Mark 14:3-9. After I told it, one of the women mentioned a story she had heard about a woman pouring oil on Jesus’ feet. Good listening. I told them how this must have been a favorite story since all four gospels have versions of it.

Another woman asked if she had a name. Nope, not in Mark’s version. She remains nameless to history, just like all of us no doubt will. But her act of love for Jesus is still told 2,000 years later. That’s the way we can be remembered, too.

Note the gold star at the top right of the storyboard. That means this woman told the story to the whole circle. What else do you notice about this storyboard?
