Maybe I need to start a whole new, separate journal for stuff like this.
So, I had plans to visit Bryon tonight. After he called to let me know he was home from work and wanted McDonald's, I informed my mom of where I was going. After my spiel, she decided to ask me, for the second time this week,
"Is Bryon saved?"
"We've already had this convesation, and I think I told you I don't know."
"Well haven't you ever talked to him about it before?"
"No."
"Aren't you concerned about if he'll get left behind in the rapture? Especially if it happens sometime this year?"
"I haven't really thought about it."
A few minutes later while I was in my room changing clothes, I heard a barely audible tapping at my door... When I opened it, my mom was standing there with a gospel tract. "Give this to Bryon and tell him it's from me." I about cracked up... On the front of the thing that looked like a brochure was a cartoon of this crazed, demon-person with horns and a pitchfork and "666" written across his forehead. I don't remember what else was on it or what it said, but I think it said something like "NOTICE: what to do if you've been left behind!" It was some attractive artwork. Anyway, I put it in my purse for safekeeping...and a few minutes after that, my mom was at my door again, this time with another tract--this one in the style of a comic book about a thief. She said, "Give Bryon this one instead--I like it better. It's funny."
I gave Bryon both of them. He said he'd be sure to read them. I think maybe he enjoyed those more than his #2 from McDonald's!
