Just do it!" <br /><br />I love how you just went and told them the idea... and how you integrated that into the story of the centurion. Excuse me, how did you just do that? :) <br /><br />It makes me smile and so joyful to know God works in amazing ways from those of us on the outside. Yay! <br /><br />And to imagine Jesus *astonished*. Now, isn't that a tummy tickling image! :) Thanks, Glynn!Bonnie Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331275947237285245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-55751006261370630552011-07-15T14:30:46.606-05:002011-07-15T14:30:46.606-05:00Great insight.

I think of the cliche but true moments where folk can't find something that is right in from of them, just because they are so used to the visual landscape looking a certain way that they have become almost blind to it. Someone else can enter and see it straight away. Then it is like the eyes really open!

And, it made me feel like I was welcome- Jesus listened and commended his faith. I still have moments of wonder about Church as I'm sure all people do. Jesus is there for anyone, any color, anytime.
