My first blog post

What 2 say? I never know exactly what to say, so I'll just put down what has impacted me so far for the day. I read a devotional this morning that commented on a passage from Mark (yes, the bible). It's the story of the man with the withered hand found in the third chapter. In the story Jesus is entering a synagogue and defies the wisdom of that day by healing on the sabbath (gasp). What intrigued me is that Jesus asked this man with his deformity to stand before everyone just before he was to be healed. I can only imagine what that man was feeling as the one thing that made him an outcast in his society was being shown to all in attendance. Sometimes we have to do that, though, show the world what our faults are, but with God at our side we somehow find the courage to accept who we are and learn to overcome the thing(s) that make us outcasts and failures. The adage goes, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Let me edit this by saying, "what God gives you strength to do, makes you a better person." Don't be afraid to show your weaknesses and let God make you stronger.
