from an answered prayer...

God answers prayers...
a good friend of mine was the answered prayer...
or rather, i prayed about him, and God answered...
during Gen Con II, he came..
and i believe God spoke to him...

he wrote me this email...

Isn’t it strange……
Isn't it strange how a 20 dollar bill seems like such a large
amount when you donate it to church, but such a small amount when you go shopping?

Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at
church, and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?


Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're
praying, but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?


Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one
chapter of the Bible, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel?


Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to
concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in Church?


Isn't it strange how we need to know about an event for Church
2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust
it for other events in the last minute?


Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God
to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and
repeat gossip?


Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and
newspapers say, but we question the words in the Bible?


Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but
they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?


Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are
forwarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think
about it twice before we share it with others?


IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?


from someone who is still searching his faith...
he can even see that our attitudes toward God is... well... strange.
