At breakfast this morning there were a couple of people that thought they should talk to me while I tried to get some work done. I didn't know either of them, and I really needed to get some of the work I had in front of me completed.
The first person, an older man wanted to talk to me about Aaron's. I wish I had thought about turning the conversation to a more beneficial one by something like, "The job with the best pay and benefits is my job at RBCS," but I didn't. The man was annoying me slightly and I asked God to allow me to get past my desire to accomplish something of my work, and show me an open door to witness to him. It didn't happen.
The second was a lady who works for the hotel keeping the breakfast area stocked and clean. She talks to everyone about anything for long periods of time. I wanted someone to witness to, and she seemed as good as any, so I made a comment about a 9/11 survivor who was being I interviewed on the TV not appearing to have any physical scars (she was burned over 90 percent of her body). I didn't know where the conversation would go, but her response was to say the event was a tragedy. Then she went on to talk about a shooting that had taken place this morning in a resteraunt and how you never know when your time is up.
Well, that was all I needed to begin speaking to her about eternity. As I steered the conversation to things of eternity, including judgment, she jumped out of it. That's right, I found out how to get miss, "I'll talk to anyone about anything" to quit talking. To bad that wasn't my purpose.
Pressing on,
Mark Hebert
