Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope you day was blessed today with good things and you had joy and peace from the Lord. I had a slow day on campus today. After 90 minutes I lost track of how many students had said they were not interested. On one hand I was thinking, at least I found more than 10 people or so I had not talked to to ask. Finally a Roman Catholic girl politely listened. I think the Bible verses influenced her a bit so I gave her a Bible study on the deity of Christ. A while later an agnostic guy listened to the Gospel over his lunch. But he seemed unchanged for having done so. At the end of the day I talked with an African American guy, Ope, with rectangular metal rimmed glasses and a short afro very short on the sides. He seemed interested to know the gospel though he went to Church. In the end he said he did not know if he wanted to be forgiven and have God live inside him. I offered him a book and he said I have one showing me Plato’s Republic. I told him I had been a Philosophy major and he said he’d kind of thought so based on all my analogies. I told him some philosophers I’d liked and told him about Pascal and Kierkegaard’s leap of Faith. He listened more and I explained that you had to be all knowing and all powerful to know and do the Good. All knowing to know what would result in a good outcome and all powerful to insure the consequent events resulting from your action would create good in the end. You had to control the effects. I felt the Spirit while I talked to him and he seemed to appreciate the talk. I thanked him for listening and told him my email was on the back of the booklet that he kept.

So I hope the seed planted today or seeds in some way blessed. Thanks so much for your prayers. There really are so few people as students begin to drop classes. But I know God can have someone pause to hear as the semester goes on, I’m grateful for the chance to tell a few.

Thanks so much for your prayers.

Blessings,

Bob
