Day 44

Wow, it's been a long time since I have had Internet service to log in, well that's one excuse! OK Saturday, Walter the cable guy comes to hook up Internet. I have to make a point to make conversation with him because it is out of my comfort zone. Walter is a guy probably in his late 50's early 60's, VERY rough around the edges, smells of smoke, and makes a couple of jokes that are borderline creepy. I just keep thinking "I must invite him to church, I must invite him to church". I'm getting myself all worked up and stressed out about how to ask him so, I pray. Then the calm comes, more conversation, and finally out comes the words "Walter I want to invite you to church. It's right next door". Oh my, that was easy. Prayer works. First time I have ever invited a complete stranger to church . . . how sad, but also a new beginning. Oh yeah, he turned me down, said he goes with his grandchildren but that's OK. It never hurts to ask! I'll ask someone else, who knows maybe our paths will cross and I will get to ask him again.
