Isn't it so frustrating sometimes?!  And it never fails!  You're off to start this project or begin that task, and ding goes the notification or ring goes the phone!  All of a sudden our plans are completely derailed because this friend is in crisis or a kid needs our help.  UGH!  But perhaps Jesus wants us interrupted.  After all, when the bleeding woman touched him, she was healed!  A minor inconvenience to Jesus of course, but to everyone else it might have caused the death of Jairus' daughter!  No matter to Jesus; he was able to save both despite the delay, the call for help, the crisis.  Maybe the next time we're faced with an annoying interruption, maybe we'll remember that Jesus is present even there, perhaps even calling us into it!
