You laid out the problem. Related it to the listener in the pew. (we are all, in essence, the woman at the well) Jesus crossed all lines of acceptable behavior to give His life giving water (Himself) to a thirsty fallen creature. (us) "And that if there is nothing else the church does, it needs to give others this life giving Water. Otherwise we might just as well meet down at Starbucks (I loved that line)". (paraphrased) Excellent message. I will try to go and do likewise. Thanks, Michael. - Steve Michael,
