Day 23
Yesterday I met up with an old friend I grew up with in school. Yeah we talked about a little bit about everything but a majority of our conversation after 23 years of not seeing each other or talking very much was about Jesus. I told him how He changed my life and how I live now. And about all the exciting things we have coming up in the church and our community. But my friend spoke about his conversion to Catholicism. And how he attended the espanol mass when he got into Dallas. I spoke to him about how and what makes me saved through Christ Jesus and about the grace He has given us. And how the sabbath was made for man and not the man for sabbath. However, I couldn't help but be saddened that I don't think my 3 hours with him was enough to change his perspective. To me discipline isn't about traditional acts but its about consistency in our behavior, in how we should live our lives. We talk about it all the time, it starts in our hearts. I pray that I do that. And I think that's a work in progress for me everyday. But I felt I showed a good example to my long life friend yesterday. And I'm pretty sure when I dropped him back off at his hotel, he thought I wasn't the same guy from all those years ago. What makes me so different. And I pray he stews on that. So maybe he can be interested with how he can get some of the peace in life that I prayed and shared through the words and power of Jesus with him.
If ya'll don't mind. I ask you say about prayer for my friend Gian. In his trip down here and his safe travels home to Maine on Tuesday. His family, work, and financial situation. But most of all for his relationship with Jesus Christ.
