2561.   That's how many blogs I have written.  I don't believe it either!  I bet I could go back and re-run them and neither of us would remember them.

Sunday, I reviewed the 17 chapter of John.  It is a prayer in three parts.  The first five verses, Jesus prayed for himself. 

Then starting in verse six, he prays for the 12 that God gave him that they would tell the world the story of why he came.  

Then around verse 20 he begins to pray for you and me...those who would come after.  If you will substitute your name in every time the word "they" or "these" or "them" it becomes so meaningful.  Because for the next six or seven verses, he is talking to God about you.  It is so personal.  Jesus prayed to God....for me!
