Geoffrey Chaucer is credited with saying "familiarity breeds contempt" sometime during the 1300s.
There's something about only being knowledgeable to anyone outside your immediate realm.
The Lenten lesson today is about Jesus mentioning that prophets aren't taken seriously in their hometowns.
I can relate to that as a business consultant. There's the rule of "500 miles." My slogan is "Have Opinion - Will Travel." That means, if I want to get paid for my thoughts and ideas, I have to take jobs more than 500 miles away if I want to be taken seriously.
My consultancy is worth free near where I happen to be at any given moment.
Chaucer must have read Jesus's story as told by Luke.
