*thinks of what to write*
so yesterday we went to six flags. it was pretty fun, but i decided that we need to find another amusement park cause we have worn this one out! dang! its kinda bad when you're so used to the roller coaster that you start talking to the person next to you, while the ride is going. *nods* Fun, but kinda lame. around 2pm it started to thunder so a lot of the rides were being closed cause of the rain coming. we decided to leave and go sight-see in Atlanta. sooooo we end up going to Underground Atlanta. (its got shops and restaurants and stuff down there) mk to make this story really short...there was a croud around the doors to outside, and they were all looking at the ground. (there was like over 20ft from the street to the ground) so i walk over there and theres this guy laying on the ground with blood around him. some people were saying that he jumped from the street; others said he was pushed over the rail. i was just standing there, and then Mark Cahill's words came into my head. that man just walked off the face of this earth. i wonder where he went...
do you know how many people were open to talking about spirituality right then? all those people who were gathered around staring at this dead man...theres no doubt that at least half of them were wondering about their own lives. im so mad at myself for not just talking to one person...one person about the situation and i might have made them think a little harder about where they will go when they die. i didn't though. hm...i wonder where that man went. i wonder how many of those people in that crowd are actually going to heaven. its a sad picture. imagine a whole city with people, and every non-believer had a dark hue about them and every believer had this light shining through them. i wonder how bright that place would have been. it didn't seem very bright at all.
satan distracts us in so many ways. thinking about ourselves. being scared to talk to people. not having the right words. i pray you guys would ask God for those situations though...cause if we can fight through those and succeed with spreading Gods word, then theres nothing to hold us back at all. take advantage of those situations guys. maybe its not so extreme as that...but there are times throughout our days when God gives us chances to share with someone about His gift. sometimes, we just arent looking for them.

its a strange, mad world...
