Greg Lucas’ posts about life with his now twenty year old special needs son are all pretty amazing.
So when I write that this one is more special than most that’s saying something.
And most of you know how I feel about hugging.
Did I mention hugging?
The pastor has just preached one of his final messages from an entire sermon series in the book of Romans and has come to a key verse that obviously catches Jake’s attention. The verse is Romans 16:16 “Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.”
Jake perks up and listens as the pastor begins to apply the text, asking the congregation, “Why don’t we do that anymore? Why don’t we show affection in the church? Why don’t we greet each other with hugs and kisses? Why are we afraid of touch?”
Jake nods in approval of the pastor’s plea and gives an affirming grunt — his unmistakable, “Amen!”
I give my wife that silent look. She knows what it means.
