Strangers With Fire

G'morning!

Recently, since I've been listening to life with open ears, I've noticed many more things. But something I've had happen multiple times this past week? Overhearing people talking about God.

Yup. Thursday I was in Vienna (the Coffeehouse) and I couldn't read my book because my ear kept perking up. There was a Bible Study group in the next room over, of at least 12 youth. Not my youth, but youth. One thing that stuck out to me was this, said by the leader.

"Xbox, Cable TV, 7 Layer Burritos, sex with my Wife, all these things are great, but Jesus is greater than all these things combined!"

Made. My. Day.

So after that they started rambling about how there week was yadayada, so I moved back to my book. I think that was a way of opening my ears, almost preparing me to get the most out of what I was reading. (Velvet Elvis)

So that had me giddy. But then last night, it happened again. I was at Starbucks after church and there's a couple next to me, talking about, you guessed it, God. I sent a text to Jules, full of excitement, and she said it shows that there's still hope in this world.

More excerpts!

"Prayer is so important, but it's so easy to get caught up in life and forget to pray."

"Say there's an old lady in a parking lot, that looks like she's had a hard life. Pray for her. She wouldn't know anything of it, but God's working."

That's my story for the day. Oh, if you're reading this, please pray for my Sissy. Thank you.
