I'm going to bed now. It's been a very interesting evening with very interesting conversation. I can learn a lot from my friend. I think he's open to learning a lot from me and Eric too. I can't imagine how horrible the evening would have been if I had attempted to use an "evangelism" technique that I learned in youth group a while ago, or if I had tried to "witness" to him. I need to hear his story. Some day I'll tell him mine. Sadly, I know a lot of Christians who would have tried to push their beliefs on him tonight without taking the time to know him or hear about the journey he is on. How sad. I pray I will have more nights like tonight on my front porch with him and many other different friends. Our mission is simple, to live hospitality and learn discipleship. I pray God will show me how to continue to use this home for hospitality, true hospitality.
It's 11:30, Trey Ryan will be ready to go at 6:15. I better get so sleep.
Sharon, I feel like there is a lot I could learn about parenting from you and Tawd. I really admire you guys, even though I don't know you well yet. You seem like incredible parents and I'd like to spend time talking with you about your kids.
