Day 28 – agnostic shoe salesman
After church we went out to lunch. Then we went to the sporting goods store to get our boys some new shoes. While we were there, a young man assisted us with finding some shoes. Turns out they did not have the shoes we were looking for. I said, “thanks anyway, you still get to get out of hell free” and then I gave the guy that helped us and the gal that was working there too Get Out of Hell Free cards. Now, I know you tract club members will be saying, “wait a minute, Get Out of Hell Free cards were not included in the March mailing of the tract club.” I know! Read on.
I went back to helping my son find some shoes. Standing down the aisle, I could here the guy and the gal reading the tract and talking about it. The guy started talking about how he is agnostic and even said he figures a god exists, but not sure who he is. My son wondered off to another aisle to look at other shoes. So I went back and engaged the sales guy in a conversation. I took him through the ten commandments. Then he had to “do some work” and the conversation ended. I chatted with the gal for a few minutes. Turns out that she is a Christian. I spoke with the guy a little more and offered him a DVD or book to answer a number of his questions. He declined. As I left, I handed the gal a “Where will you spend eternity” tract. I asked her to look for an opening to talk with him more and if the time arose to give it to him and ask him to order the “One Heartbeat Away” tract.
Thanks for sharing, I found this story, while googling for some free downloads and ran across this site, useful comments and great points made.
