We read in the gospels that the disciples ran interference against young children trying to prevent them from the time and attention of the Master. Jesus quickly reversed their action and invited the children to come close. After a week of Vacation Bible School some of our disciples were ready to send the children away also! There were over 100 each day, and our three and four-year olds numbered close to 40. There were lighter moments, such as when one lad with a cherub face defined who Jesus healed. He healed the blind, who could not see. He healed the mute who could not speak. When asked about the lame he said they were the "totally uncool!" Children must have strongly appealed to Jesus for their honesty of reply and observation. I'm sure He would smile to hear the way the word lame is used in our culture today. We should do everything we can to bring children to Him at an early and tender age.
On a medical note: There is nothing to report concerning the MRI - we are still awaiting the results. However, the bilirubin count is as low as it's been, at 12.5! We rejoice that some enzymes are lower too. We continue to covet your prayers. Love, Chris
