My GPS (whatever that stands for) and I have a very distinct relationship. Doris (my GPS) and I seem to agree on most things, but on others, there is just no happy medium for either of us really. For example, the other day I asked her to take me to Cracker Barrel. I thought this was a very simple request. Doris acted like she understood clearly what she was instructed to do. I found Cracker Barrel in her listings under “food”. I followed her every direction to a “T” and even had my dear husband follow me. I mean, I figured that if she knew that he was following her too that she would definitely behave herself. So, we followed her every direction. A turn here, a turn there! Finally, she announced that we would arrive at our destination on the right. Yes, we arrived alright! We arrived at the Cracker Barrel Liquor and “Food” Store. I think that she secretly knows that we are a pastoral family and she wants to be sure that paparazzi get photos of us hanging out at the liquor store!

One of the most amazing witness experiences I have ever had was by that of a simple child. So many times I had heard the preacher say that our faith was supposed to be like that of a child, but until that day I am not sure that I had really ever seen it in action. I was babysitting for a friend of mine who had three children. Her oldest was four at the time so her life was indeed crazy! Now this little four-year-old was not like all the other little half pints. Nope. He sat next to me at Burger King dressed in his favorite choice, a three piece blue suit. He sat there though, just like a normal kiddo, dipping his nuggets away. A man came and sat on the other side of the little boy. He smiled politely at him. Next thing I knew this little guy had struck up a conversation with the gentleman who sat next to him. And that’s when it happened. Out of nowhere the little guy says, “and Sir, do you know where you are going to go when you die? Do you have a relationship with Jesus?” I thought I was going to pass out! The man even allowed the little guy to pray for him! Funny thing about little kids, fear doesn’t get in the way of telling somebody something that they feel is important. They are young and innocent enough to let faith take it’s place.
