Nothing THAT interesting

I was walking with Ralphie through town.
I saw 2 people sitting smoking cigarettes in an alley, next to a VW bus
I had my camera. but 200 speed film!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

woulda been great if i had 800 speed.. and their permisson to photograph of course.
the girl had a shaved head and the guy had a mohawk.

and the colors of the alley were nice.. it was a nice alley, with benches and grass and brick buildings... oh well

Strange things happen at McDonald's

Strange things happen at McD's.
I met 3 girls in a broken down car, which they pushed into the parking lot from somewhere down the street.
I asked if they needed help, they talked more about how I asked to help, than they did in responding to my question.

This trailing off from the main issue was probably due to the alcohol they had been, and were currently drinking. As I pull up, the driver is drinking a 40 of MGD, and there's a bottle of Crown Royale laying in the passenger's seat.

That was interesting... they were really touched that I offered help, though I didn't give any real help. Their car wouldn't start, but I was sure it would after sitting a short time - the driver said this happens with this car.

They commented on my shoes... I was wearing my Lugz.
It almost made me laugh that they commented on them. They were like.. THOSE ARE SO COOL.

One girl was black, the other two acted like they were. lol.
The funny thing is.. Ya know how gay guys can act more feminine than the most prissy girl? It's like these white girls can act more "black" than the most "black" black person.

Offering help made an impact.

Then, inside the restaurant, this guy walks up to me, and starts talking to me.. as if he knows me.. telling me about this show on pbs he saw about Einstein, and Einstein's girlfriend, and relativity, and bombs.

I don't really know where he was going with it, but he picked me to walk up to and talk to about it. It was a little awkward

Strange.

In hindsight, I wonder if God was up to a few things there at McDonald's.

or maybe there was just weird stuff going on.
I didn't hear him speaking to me about anything in particular at McD's that day.
Oh well, I'll keep my eyes open for next time.

People I meet

I think a lot of people really aren't convinced by any of the usual arguments/evidence that American Christians give about God.

Really, what makes Him real? How can they know?
The truth of The Bible and the love of His people are great--But I think that God moving in POWER is what would really get their attention.

If God is real, then He does everything He says He does in The Bible.
But we don't see that here. No wonder people don't believe.

Christianity looks really unbalanced here in America.

I told a co-worker today about what's happening in Mozambique, Africa.
I told him about some of the miracles.
He said to me, "I'm surprised, I didn't think you'd believe in that stuff."
    "Why?," I asked.
"Because you're so logical."
    "But how could I not believe in the whole thing (Christianity)?!"

So he gave me the argument that he could trip on LSD and say he sees god, etc. And how could I tell him he was wrong?

So then I told him that I could judge it against The Bible, though he doesn't hold that as a standard.

    So I ultimately said, "Well, I could ask to see your god do something, and then we could see my God do something, and we'll see who's real, and who's greater."
    "As soon as I see your god start doing miracles or signs, then I'll consider it."
"I guess if yours did, then I would too!," he said.
    "Touche."

Isn't that the real question?
How can I know your God is real?
How can I know your God is the one true God?

And to me, that is my current #1 reason to "press in" and spend time with God.
I want to see more of his works in my life, and more of his signs all around.
So they would know, and so those who know would know Him more.

What is there to do?

I think there's nothing better to do than to spend time seeking God.
To spend time in his presence is probably the #1 thing to do if you want him to move more powerfully in your life.

So now I need to do this.
