Day’s Verse:
A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.
Mark 1:40-42

“You might want to close your mouth, or you might start catching flies.” Kim had to smile at Tristan’s response to her proposal, even through the emotional wringer she’d just emerged from. His jaw remained slack, hanging wide open, with eyes like saucers and eyebrows disappearing into his wavy hair, almost like in a movie. No boy had ever given Kim that kind of response, which made her wonder if maybe she’d just been dating the wrong guys this whole time. Tristan certainly seemed more grateful now, in the last thirty seconds, than Austin had ever been during their entire two-year relationship.
