    I love this. Thinking “out of the box” is the call to us as followers of Christ. He certainly was ridiculed and killed for His “ideas” that threatened the religious. Help us to think and step “out of the box” and into truth, life, light and love. That’s quite a combination!

    Right on … I’ll always think differently about Listerine from now on! Nice encouragement.
