Just had a lovely lunch with one of my newer favorite people, Mr.
Jason Evans. I was about to say I had lunch with "my valentine", but that woulda sounded a little odd, wouldn't it? Anyway, it was good to hear how things are going over at
Matthew's House. As we talked and shared life together, a gentleman sat down next to us, and listened in to our conversation while eating his burger. After listening to us for several minutes, it was like he couldn't take it any longer and started talking to us about his own faith experience. We had an opportunity to listen to him talk about his relationship with Jesus, and his experience of life. He told us about how he's been feeling down lately because of a recurring problem of sin in his life. We prayed and shared Christ's love with one another.
Jason told me about
Jeremiah Smith over in New England, and how he's in a similar place in ministry as I am. So I checked things out, and it's true . . . he's farther along in the process, and a better writer than I am. I'll e-mail him soon. I have a feeling that he'll become an important voice of hope to me in the days ahead.
