My bible study group has been studying Romans and that is a great book to give people a start I think. It certainly has bolstered me and I can feel many more opportunities coming my way, I hope I am ready. I'll have to check out that book. I'd watch the video but I am going to have to come back I am beat, you are my last stop this evening! I shudder to think of all the times I have missed.

Remember a few weeks ago when the father of the girl next door told me that his daughter (3 yrs old) knows that when you die that is it. I was so stunned by him telling me that, that I couldn't respond the way I should have. I have thought many times since then that i should invite them to church, but haven't worked up the nerve. I do not have it in me either. I can talk to kids about it all day long but adults I would rather not. Perhaps I am afraid of being called out. Of not knowing the scripture that I need to back myself up. I need to pray also that I can find opportunities to share my faith. I know exactly how you feel.

And while I'm grateful that, as Guin says, He loves me anyway, I still hate disappointing Him! Let us know when you get your second chance.. He usually responds to my requests for another chance to share, when I'm determined to please Him. I'm not a natural evangelist, either. That part of my life is deeply personal.. I know everyone I know in real life is amazed that there is anything I don't talk about! LOL I pray he opens this man's heart to your words and the Holy Spirit prepares the way. hugs, Jean I have missed a lot of opportunities, too.

I present it more in the context of informational, when they answer, that's when the tough part comes. If they say no, then I have to decide how I will respond. I usually end up have very good, engaging discussions with people. It is interesting that you should blog about this today...our pastor brought this up recently, and asked how many of us share our christianity with others? I do try when the opportunity arises without being preachy. It's a fine line to walk. Good post. When presented with the opportunity I usually do ask the question…”do you believe in Christ”.

Import it into iTunes, adding it to your library. I get audiobooks at the library all the time to listen to on my iPod. Absolutely Becca… just like any other cd.

It does change your perspective and I am so looking forward to being there one day! It's an awesome story of faith and testament to God. I too have missed many an oppurtunity to witness Dory, I hope that I learn from it and can speak up when I get the chance. God forgives us of our short comings too! Have a great holiday weekend and so glad you made the trip safely! Oh I have read it and wow! It does change your perspective and I am so looking forward to being there one day!

There have been opportunities I've just let slip by...and then I feel so guilty about not saying something. I don't think I have the gift of evangelism either, but we're all called to it...it's just that those who are gifted with it may be called to it as a full time ministry. Just one more example of how we fall short. But He loves us anyway. ;o) I'm so glad! I’ll have to check this book out…no guarantees on getting it completed anytime soon…but I’ll check it out. ;o)

It is absolutely amazing and truly changed how I view death and heaven. I don't know how anyone can hear his story and not be touched. John 16:24 says........"Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." My prayer this morning is that God will answer your prayer and your joy will be complete!
