Sorry everyone, that this is so late. It was a busy day all day, and I have a confession to make.

I put church service on the tv, turned it up so I could hear it, and finished the laundry to include totally reorganizing my husband’s closet and drawers while he was away golfing.

I know it was wrong, but you know how once you get started on something like that and it morphs into something else, then you’re driven to finish it? Yeah, it was like that. When I was done, I was so happy and satisfied. I hoped that being organized might help him in other ways too.

Once I read an article that said if you can’t organize the bills in your wallet from ones to $20’s, how can you expect your life to be organized -and David is totally like that! He is constantly losing things because he wont put things in their place so he can find them again.

Enough on that. As I worked, I was listening to the message, which in-a-nutshell was that we don’t have to be preachers, ministers, pastors or priests to spread the gospel to everyone we know. Well, I cannot bring myself to do it. Not with my friends anyway.

But I did meet a new camper today who told me he was from Greece. I said to him during our short conversation that Greece is mentioned a lot in the Bible. He said yes, Greek Orthodox and motioned with his hands to indicate that there was more to the story and that was all that was said.

I could have said something then, but told him it was getting cold and I went home. What stops us? Why are we so shy about asking the question, Do you know about Jesus, have you heard the gospel?” we are afraid we will be judged.

Or maybe because we still want to be liked. I love my new circle of friends. I got Dave to get involved and he loves them too. I don’t want to “mess that up” so to say. I mean, we have talked about God in conversations. But not the real meat, not the real question. We simply agree that we all believe.

Why isn’t it enough that we ourselves believe. Because we cannot do this life alone. That isn’t our mission in life according to the Bible. Our mission is to bring as many souls together who now believe so that we can all enter the kingdom together. I understand the need for fellowship in that context, but that fellowship is with people we already know believe.

I have had the talk with my best friend at home. Slowly, carefully we discussed it. Yes, it took some unwinding and getting to a certain stage of feeling comfortable first, but we got there. Why can’t I do the same with my friends here?

Maybe the answer is to study more first. Maybe its to try one-on-one, like I did with Michelle at home. I don’t know. Maybe the answer is to ask God to present me with the solution.

What do you think? How would you handle it? Have you tried? Maybe you could give me some pointers. Do you believe that Christ died for our sins, died, and was resurrected? That’s all I have to ask my friends, and I can ask you! You are my friends right?

But I’m not looking at you right now face to face.

Another confession real quick. I don’t really know how to pray either, but I try. Sometimes its more like I’m talking to Him. But its a one-sided conversation so far. Some people say God told them to do this or that. I haven’t experienced that, so its easy to think I’m doing it wrong.

Maybe He isn’t listening. I know He is though because I have a good life. He answers my prayers anytime I ask Him to keep my kids safe, or keep us safe on the road, for example. We didn’t make this lifestyle possible all by ourselves. He lined things up for us somehow. I know it.

Sorry, I’m getting off track as usual. The message was to spread the gospel. Don’t feel like you are not “qualified” because in actuality, it is our job, our mission as Christians. I’m going to pray about it and I hope you will too.

Have a blessed evening and may it continues throughout your week.
