Great Day at Lunch

I told ya I'd have a blog post Thursday on two people and "done". I'm gonna bring ya that tomorrow instead.

I had lunch with a friend today. I have only known her a few months. I met her when we did some business together. She's not much of a church person. She's a good human. A rare human. She is also facing some tough stuff in her life. You would never know it. She is doing it with strength, style and grace. She is going through some surgery next week. Say a prayer for her. I wont tell you her name, just pray for "Simon's friend". God will know who you're talking about. I told him you'd be calling.

Today at lunch we had a God talk. I told her about my faith. I wasn't selling or evangelizing. Just an honest talk about my relationship with my God and why I love and trust Him. 

It was cool. I wasn't "a pastor doing recruiting" or "doing my job". I was just a photographer guy talking with a friend about my Father. After telling her about my awesome God... I think I have loved him more this afternoon.

This old song has been floating through my brain all afternoon.

All to Jesus I surrender;
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.

All to Jesus I surrender;
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessing fall on me.

I surrender all,
I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.

blessings, joy and peace

Jess,

I will say a prayer for your friend. I remember that talk that we had over 20 years ago like it was yesterday and because of that talk I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for being a friend and talking with me.

Curtis,

I remember that talk we had as well.

I remember you making the call to step over the faith line, and declare Jesus personal Savior and Lord. Sweet memory!!! I am thrilled I was there when you made the big call!

Have ya told Gerry Smith "thanks for the nudge lately? He was a big part of you coming to know Jesus wasn't he?

Ill bet it would make his day like you just made mine. Thanks for remembering and sharing.

I love you man!
