SIXTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST 2015 MARK 8:27-38 How much would you sell your name for? What’s your price? How cheap are you? Well, ten years ago the 201 residents of Clark, Texas took a vote to change the name of their town - not in itself an unheard of event. But as far as I can tell from reading Wikipedia (you see I’ve spared no expense researching this) it is the only town to change its name to that of a corporation in exchange for an inducement. So next time you’re heading down Texas way look out for the tiny settlement of DISH. And, just like the satellite TV provider who bought the name of the town, it is all in capital letters. So, how much would you sell the name of your town for, if a large corporation came along and wanted to name it after itself? I hope, as people with great taste, that you would drive a harder bargain than the people of Clark (or should that be DISH). All they asked for was a free DVR. Seriously. Gimme a free Video Recorder and you can name our town whatever y
