You never
know the opportunities God may send your way on any given day - even when you
leave the beautiful state of Colorado!
Last week I
had the privilege of taking my wife and son on a vacation. We left late on Friday and drove only to
North Platte, Nebraska, where we found a Fairfield Inn to lodge for the night.
Before retiring, Scott and I opted
for a
visit to the hot tub.
When we got
to the whirlpool, we found it was already occupied by a gentleman.While
starting a conversation with him would fit my nature, I was also keenly aware
that this would likely
embarrass my teenage son, so I showed great restraint and remained silent. Our predecessor in the hot tub
did not have a teenager with him, however, so he was not inclined to restrain
himself! “Where did
you guys start your day today?” he asked.
“Well, we got a late start from Denver on our way to Chicago, how about
you?” I had taken the bait.
The stranger
told us his name, and that he was returning to his home south of Denver from
Chicago. I told him we lived in
Highlands Ranch.
He asked if I knew where the corner of Broadway and Mineral was.
At this point
I thought God might be prompting me to talk about our church a little bit, so I
told him I was a pastor and my church was right at that location. He started asking me about our church and
told me he was currently looking for one (about this time, Scott had had
enough of the heat). The stranger and I
shared some of the details of our respective spiritual journeys, and he told me
he would like to visit our church sometime.
