Mark 5:29-34 tells us the story of a woman who had an irregularity ion her menstrual cycle whom Jesus healed. What is significant about the fact that she touched Him besides the faith it took to do so?

There is a lot more to this story than meets the eye. The woman in the story was not only expressing her faith that Jesus could heal her. She was literally risking her life by even going out into public. You see under Mosaic law, which applied at that time, the woman was "unclean". She was having a menstrual cycle, albeit an unnatural one. Leviticus 15:19 makes it clear that the woman was considered "unclean" and anyone who touched her was also considered unclean. Thus Jesus was considered unclean under Jewish law. By all rights the woman was not supposed to be in public or if she was she was suppose to announce that she was unclean and not allow anybody to touch her. Touching Jesus in her "impure" state could have gotten her stoned. However,, Jesus did not stone her. Instead, he loved on her and healed her. I know the woman went on to believe from that day forward. She took a great chance because her faith told her Jesus would not condemn her.

Does faith play a role in your life? If so, tell us about it. If not, why?

Theresa expresses great faith in this poem. She expresses the need to pray and be close to God. It is very important that believers stay close to God. Like a gazelle, we are always being stalked. Satan and his minions are on the prowl and looking to consume us. The only way we avoid that is to stay close to the herd. We do that by prayer, and by staying in God's word.

Prompt: "Please use these words in your post today: magnitude, attitude, gratitude, define, beautiful, mess."

My life is a beautiful mess. The magnitude of my gratitude gives me a good attitude. I guess you could say it defines me.
