6. RELATING IS TOUCHING

Don’t begin by traveling to some far-off place to convert unbelievers. And don’t try to be dramatic by tackling some public enemy.
Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously.
(Matthew 10:5-8 – The Message)

If the essence of my being has caused a smile to have appeared upon your face, or a touch of joy within your heart, then in living – I have made my mark.
- Thomas L. Odem
