A Better Expressed Version of What I Believe

I believe that Jesus came that everybody may have life in all its glorious fullness. He lived, died and was resurrected for that to be made possible. Jesus was a radical, a Rabbi who accepted those who weren’t good enough and empowered and enlivened them to tell the world that “not good enough” can be flipped on its head through a renewing of the mind and faith as tiny as a mustard seed. Jesus commissioned his followers to tell the world about him and his Father, about his Father’s love for the world and about his unspeakable and eternal glory.

A Small Story

One of my friends told me this little story from their life the other day:

They were out somewhere and they really needed to go to the toilet, so they went into the nearest one.

They took their time to relieve themselves and were glad to no longer have a bursting bladder, but they were a little perplexed by the sinks, for they could not work out how to turn them on. Fortunately, they soon enough came on and my friend assumed they automatically came on when needed so my friend cleaned their hands.

She was mightily pleased to have had such a successful trip to the loo when she left, and saw the ladies next door.

She had wondered why the sinks seemed a little low.
