Real Jesus: Love Makes a Difference

Sometimes we look around at all the craziness in the world and we think...what difference could love make?  The obstacles and enemies to that love seem so big, so insurmountable...but then we see.  The love-power of Real Jesus can - and does - literally make all the difference in the world.  Like when Mary Belle has to move from her home of decades into an assisted living community, and her son Tom is left in charge of "going through your dad's and my things".  Or one boy's difference-making response to a classmate who says, "...except mean people.  I think all that love just bounces off them."  And then we'll go to the store with a girl and her mom.  A girl whose voice rings out across the aisles as she says, "I HATE rules!"  What rules, you might wonder.  And then it all changes as they decide to go "shopping with Jesus".  Hmmm...And finally, we'll meet jenny, who surprises (OK, shocks) her mother when she insists on inviting a girl who has been mean (OK, bullying) her to a special party event.  What a difference!
