Did Jesus promote Dependency?

"Tried to snap out of it with a rubbery omelette"

Awoke to the nauseating smell of breakfast at 40,000 feet. Dreamy cobwebs remained, mostly related to feeling too young and stupid to be doing this job. I'd also been debating whether or not Jesus promoted Dependency ("Come to me all you who... I am the way, the truth and the life... No one can come to the Father except through me... Take my yoke upon you... Follow me...") or was a model for Participatory development. Tried to snap out of it with a rubbery omelette. (Please don't send me your comments: it was just a dream.)

What wasn't a dream was the paperwork for a poorly constructed project which someone was funding and I was doomed to oversee. I re-read it. Worse, the donor wanted to take the project to the public for funding. Talk about negative exposure! And who was I - green about the gills - to question what others had previously approved? Just move forward and be accountable for it's implementation! Not something to fight over. Yet.

We landed. Hot. Sticky. Strange temporary lodgings with unrestored pre-war furniture and about five mezzanine floors like giant steps up to the ceiling. Anyway, shops nearby, food manageable, and kids and wife reasonably happy, so that's good enough for me for now. Only the jet lag to defeat.
