Since a friend of mine (Susan) was mentioning to me at our church crop last Friday that I never post anything on my blog, I thought I would tell a little story. I told this to another friend of mine who told me I need to write it down. I can't ever find a pen in this house, so I decided to just post it here. That way when I forget it in a week or so I can come back to it, and even if no one else laughs I will.Recently we had guest visitors to our adult Sunday school class who are missionaries in an undisclosed Muslim country. After church while we were eating lunch I started to tell the kids about them. I think I was searching for that ever-elusive "teachable moment". Anyway, we were talking about what it would be like to live in a country where it was illegal to tell people about Jesus.
Gracie said, "but it's okay to break the law if you're obeying God, right?"
I thought, 'she gets it, she really gets it'. And I answered her, "absolutely. the Bible tells us that God is our priority and we obey His law rather than man's."
Gracie said, "wow, that would be so cool..."
and that in and of itself would make a beautiful story,
if she hadn't finished the thought with, "I've always wanted to break the law."
It's funny, she looks so innocent!
(I would just like to state for the record that this thought process obviously comes from her father's side of the family!)
