• BP being defined by oil spill...
• Wife with cancer-interruption
• Interruptions can be mishandled
• Story of inmate serving life sentence and his mother who regretted not taking him to church when he wanted to go (interruption)
• Jesus stopped for woman who touched his robe... His response to the interruption brought healing and transformation
• We have clear goals and objectives: career, family...

• The ministry of Jesus is defined by interruptions

• Some of us need to interrupt Jesus and sometimes He interrupts (as with Saul on the road to Damascus)
