New Facebook and WordPress Sites
I’m so excited right this minute that I could burst! I just created a Facebook group for The Sower. I am hoping you will find this a great place to talk with other Christians about sharing your faith. Just look for The Sower in Groups. I hope you will join me there. I also finished transferring all Xanga posts to the official WordPress site. I started this transfer almost nine months ago. The tags and searches on the WordPress site should make it easy for you to find old posts or topics that interest you. Continue reading New Facebook and WordPress Sites
Witnessing to the Extreme
I stood at the foot of a wall of colorful Crocs. A rainbow of foam shoes reached twenty feet high, almost to the ceiling. “Now, how am I going to be able to try on a pair?” I thought. Just then, Adam arrived. “May I help you?” he asked. “I’ve read that Crocs are good for heel pain,” I explained, “and they fit differently than normal shoes.” “That’s right,” Adam agreed. “Can I get a pair for you to try?” I pointed to a conservative pearl-colored pair next to the electric-teal-colored ones that I really liked. I mentally pictured Adam … Continue reading Witnessing to the Extreme
While They Work

Turning Back
I chatted a bit with Mo as I bought salmon at the fresh fish counter. I turned and headed down the aisle to check out. I was not even halfway down the aisle when I sensed God prompting me to go back and give Mo a tract. I started a few mental arguments. “I will look silly going back now!” and “This will be awkward!” God kept up the pressure and I knew before I reached the end of the aisle that I had to turn around. Fortunately, Mo was still at the counter and was not waiting on anyone. … Continue reading Turning Back
MP3 and Me
“There she is again,” I thought. Almost every time I went to the fitness center, I saw a tall, Middle Eastern young woman. I had never talked to her and I was feeling awkward as the weeks turned to months. It seemed that she was a little awkward about seeing me, too. Normally, I strike up conversations early. The longer the time goes from initial encounter to introduction, the harder I find it to introduce myself. During this time, I had also been given a MP3 player, so I was listening to music or audio books when I could have … Continue reading MP3 and Me
