I wanted to laugh sooooo hard! After a little discussion, it was clear that he was wanted to know how to "ask Jesus into your heart" like they said at AWANA. But, that made me really think about the words that we use. And, for some cultures, "asking Jesus into your tummy" might make more sense! Have a great day, Catherine This reminds me of the time that my son, who was 4 years old at the time, asked me, “How do I ask Jesus into my tummy?” I wanted to laugh sooooo hard!

Until you see it listed like this you don't get the full impact of how it must sound like a whole 'nother language. I just think I know what we are all saying, but if I ask myself "led?" led by whom? and I've said "check in my spirit" but reading it I almost laughed. I know your post is giving me pause and making me think about how to be more meaningful and circumspect in how I phrase things. Instead of joining in the buzz. ok- now I’m going to use one from the world ( they’ve got theirs too) This is wickedly good.
