The Runts

My son and I read in Mark about the blind man, Bartimeas. The blind man kept hollering for Jesus to have mercy on him. The crowd kept telling him, "Shhhhh!!!!" But Jesus asked him to come over there. The crowd said< "Hey, you're in luck! He wants to see you! Get over there!"

And my son said, "You know why they told him to stay away? Because they thought the blind mad was a runt. But Jesus didn't care about that. I think Jesus *loves* the runts."
