Going Behind the Word: Grand God or Puny God?

Perhaps it was because my brother and I helped my mom move into a senior facility that I was struck by the line from the gospel today about ignoring the needs of parents in the name of serving God. Here is what I am referring to when I say this. "For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother, and Whoever curses father or mother shall die. Yet you say, ‘If someone says to father or mother, “Any support you might have had from me is qorban”’ (meaning, dedicated to God), you allow him to do nothing more for his father or mother."
