Hey Ladies,
We have been so busy since I last wrote. We went to the home church for a visit. What a blessing to be around friends that are family! It was really an enjoyable time. We also managed to get in a few weekends at Spring Break. We stay away from the beach area, but it still gets pretty wild at times. Our favorite corner is right in front of a Walgreens where a very busy intersection is. The Walgreens employees really do not like us, and apparently neither does their management as they went so far as to change their sign to read "We do not support this group". Amazing isn't it! I suppose they support the drunken spring breakers though!
Anyway we had some very interesting conversations. One young man driving by told my son that the Bible says "Judge not". When he was asked where that was found, he replied, "In the BLEEP Bible." Amazing! We were of course approached by several "Christians" who claimed there was a better way, but none wanted to demonstrate for us. I was told that John the Baptist had long hair because he was a Nazarene. Now one John was not called a Nazarene Jesus was, but there is a difference between a Nazarene and a Nazarite! The same young man told one of my sons that when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He told him to go and sin no more. And I always thought He said that to the woman taken in adultery!
Of course we received the normal, "You're judging" and "I'll see you in hell" etc. We also received many number one signs. I am glad they thought so highly of us. One that really stood out was a young man who tried to tell us we were building walls and that no one was being reached. Mind you, when he said this we had approx. 20 people who had stopped to talk to us. When my husband asked him to show us the right way, he would not. Needless to say, my husband told him that if we were building walls, then people were climbing over them to reach us.
One last thing I would like to mention, we have friends in Ohio starting a Baptist Church who would like to get hold of other like minded believers in the Ohio area. If you would be interested in contacting them please email me and I will forward your email to them.
Thanks ladies!
