"Well how much was the ticket?"
"I don't know, I just gave it to my Mom"  

"I was going to, but it was hard"

"It was kindness week at my school...And I didn't"

"What if a mute person has no hands"

Heard melodies are sweet

Name: Chad
Scripture: Luke 22:39-62
"'Father if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless not my will but yours be done'....And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly"

OAP:
There isn't much for me to say about this passage that hasn't been said. This is one of the most beautiful prayers in the bible, one that I try to emulate countless times. The outline of prayer under burden. It is good. Yet even after this prayer Jesus begins to pray more earnestly. I cannot think of what would be a more earnest prayer than this one. I can't even imagine what was said during this time,and I don't think it is for me to know. We always talk about Jesus = God, but he was truly a son and I think that the words not said in this passage are the strongest ones ever said.

God, I want to talk to you in that way. I want to have that relationship. I do so much to run away from it. Please don't let me get too far. Pull me back, it is where I want to be.
