The Ghost Train
Just enjoyed a three-day rafting trip on the Eel River in Northern California, and like most outdoor enthusiasts I’m experiencing a short memory. Fading in the background are the miseries of icy rain, trying to set up tents in 60 mile-per-hour gusts and the ensuing strains of mild hyperthermia. Our five-raft, two-kayak entourage was alone on the river for reasons the weather made obvious.
Left in my mind are the glorious visions of green rolling hills, a plethora of waterfalls, the adrenaline rush of Class 3’s and a Class 4, and the lulling pleasures of a Mark Twainesque journey. And then, of course, was the Ghost Train.
The Shoe Shine Glory
One of the amazing things about God is He teaches you in such unique ways and through the most unexpected teachers. My men’s Bible study learned this firsthand when we were joined about six months ago by a 68-year-old man name Ben.
Ben became a part of our group right after spending his prior three decades in federal prison. He was introduced to us by a Pastor in prison ministry who was concerned about Ben’s transition to the outside world and wanted our group of men to support him through the process. We embraced the challenge, looking forward to sharing our wisdom as Ben began his new life.
The Terrible Truth About Christians
Christians really have the unique ability to drive people nuts. Most other folks of faith are pretty good about keeping to themselves and staying out of other people’s business. But the same can’t be said of us Holy Rolling, Bible Thumpers.
The reality is there truly is a diamond hidden amongst all of that bothersome coal, and if you can somehow get past our many shortcomings, you’ll discover our hearts are in the right place.
So before you give up on us completely, here are a few helpful things you should know about Christians.
