Captured and Stunned

Just discovered Professor Peter Enn’s blog and I’d like to direct you to a specific article:

It is definitely worth the read.

I’ll tempt you with the very last three sentences of the essay:

“At any rate, a young girl is dying. We all have so many chances to minister God’s love to people every day, if we just take the time to look around. And what we say, if given the opportunity, will reflect God’s story to the extent that we ourselves are captured by it.”

To the extent that we ourselves are captured by it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

A friend signed off an email to me this week:

“Praying you are still stunned by the gospel“

What a great reminder.

I pray that I am captured by the gospel. Stunned by the gospel. (Even in my fevered state. 🙂 )

And I pray this for you too.

Hang in there, friends!
God is with us and He is mighty to save.

Happily and hopefully,
Tara B.
