And Jesus said to them, Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have perfected praise? — Matthew 21:16 (American King James Bible) <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Two weeks ago tonight Carolann and I drove to Tracy’s and Martha’s house in McKinney to join their semi-weekly Bible study group. This will come as a surprise to our family and friends in California because we’re not church-goers but we’re not heathens, either. We’re quiet believers.<\/p>\n

And frankly, more to the point, we’re new to Texas and have no social life. We need to meet people.<\/p>\n

\n

So, there we were, eight or ten of us having snacked and socialized, now seated together in our friends’ living room engrossed in the book of Daniel and sharing The Word.<\/p>\n

Tracy and Martha’s eight-year-old daughter Sadie was upstairs in her room, unseen and forgotten.<\/p>\n

The Good Book is passed to our new friend, Mike.<\/p>\n

(A dog barks in the backyard. Sadie yells at the dog through her upstairs window, telling him to be quiet.)<\/p>\n

Mike reads.<\/p>\n

<\/a>MIKE: “Ezekiel describes his vision of God…<\/em><\/p>\n

(The dog begins baying outside.)<\/p>\n

MIKE:\u00a0 “A voice came from above…”<\/em><\/p>\n

(Upstairs, to the dog…)<\/p>\n

SADIE: “SHUT UP YOU RETARD!!!”<\/p>\n

We’ll try to pick it up at that point tonight. I’m praying that Sadie is there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
