Time Well Spent

This past week was a good one, God gave me some good opportunities to love people and share truth. A friend of mine called and invited me to spend the night at his house Wednesday night. I made it to his house around 5 that evening, and I had a great time hanging out with him and his 3 roommates. We sat around and talked, joked around, and I got to try to play the local version of the guitar.


I managed to pick out a Red Hot Chili Peppers song on it, but the guys hadn't heard of them.

Later that night, we had a great conversation about what I believe about God and heaven and what it takes to get there. I got to share my testimony, and I think they at least understood how different my life is thanks to God.

On a side note, after that good conversation we played a game called "21". I was expecting them to pull out cards, but instead we each wrote a number between 1 and 21 on our hands. Then we guessed numbers between 1 and 21, and if your number is called you're out (You can't guess your own number). The last person still in loses. It's not the most exciting game I've ever played...

The next morning I went with my friend to his class at university. It just so happened to be a philosophy class, and that day they just happened to be talking about the philosophy of religion. It was a really cool opportunity to share truth with a large group of people at once, it was neat how God stuck me in that class for that day.
