NPR and God

I'm listening to NPR and they say something about a piece about Lent.

A girl comes on and starts talking about how she never intended to be evangelistic. She's not one to ask a friend, "If you were to die tonight, do you know if you would go to heaven?'" She's more into what is commonly called, "Lifestyle Evangelism."

What?

The ashes on her forehead led a student to ask her where she could find a church. Another student sat down with her and began weeping explaining that her parents were getting a divorce. She never intended the ashes to be an evangelistic tool.

She went on to explain her faith in a Christ who suffered for her sins and died to offer her forgiveness.

Turns out it was Winner, the girl who wrote Girl Meets God and Mudhouse Sabbath.

It was great to hear the gospel.

Leaving for Russia in about 20 hours. In about 28 hours, Kelly and I will be leaving the continent from New York and heading over the polar ice caps to Moscow. Here's the Moscow forecast for the week. All I have to say is that my wife keeps me warm at night. (grin).
