The only place to get pizza on St. John is at a local place called Ronnie's. Claire's youth group met there each Wed. night until recently (now they are at Episcopal church) and the Rheas and rest of the Newcomers enjoyed pizza a distance away from the youth. A couple of months after we were here, Ronnie (owner) and Glen (worker) called Claire to the kitchen and told her they noticed something different about her - that she really paid attention to what her youth leader was saying.
Last night, Glen removed the movie, Armageddon, from the DVD player and struck up a conversation with us about books he has read recently which state there is deity in everyone. He was interested in the concept of people reaching out to the god in each other instead of to God above. The Lord has opened a door for us to continue to talk with and pray for Glen.
This just confirms to me that no matter where we are, we are witnesses for Him. Sometimes we fail, but thankfully he restores us back to a right place with Him.
If you are reading this and are experiencing guilt and failure, I pray that you will find your way back.
Have a wonderful day. Let me hear from you!!!!!
