PRAY FOR RAY

I have been practicing more this week for the upcoming challenge basketball game between my your pastor and me. It is a week and a half away but I am getting back into "game" shape. That is not easy for a 59 1/2 year old man to do.

I returned to the bball court to practice on Tuesday afternoon. After a half hour of shooting by myself, one of the guys I played on Monday showed up to play. He is less than half my age so I didn't expect to compete very good, but I did beat him the day before against several guys playing 21.

Amazingly, I won again. He was surprised that this old guy could keep up with the young bucks. Not all preachers are sissies. Ha! Now, that comes from a preacher.

I haven't witnessed to him yet, but I plan on sharing Christ with him. I can tell he isn't a christian. He seemed drawn to me and wanted to play again. We will probably play again next week as I am tied up for a few days. This is a time I can be salt and light. I bet he will be surprised when he finds out that I am a preacher. I haven't hidden my light. He can tell I am different already by how I conduct myself, but the light is about to shine even brighter on Ray. 

Pray for Ray that God's light will shine into his heart. There is a world that needs Jesus. We must share the light.

I will.
