Good morning and happy Tuesday. For all practical purposes, Saul, later known as Paul, was a terrorist to Christians. He over saw the stoning death of Stephen and was on his way to Damascus to haul some more off to prison if not kill them. But along the way he had an encounter with Jesus. Forever changed, he went on to write most of the New Testament. I'm sure no one really ever prayed for his salvation and realization of who Jesus was. Not to ever excuse what happened yesterday in Boston, it just shows us that we live in a fallen world and there are many people in need of Jesus. Here in our own country and all over the world. The mission of the first followers of Christ has not changed at all. Living in the Bible Belt can some times dull me to the need of the message of Jesus to rest of the world around us. Pray for those families and for those who are responsible. It's what jesus would do. In love always. <><
