Applying the 3-2-1 Plan to Your Spiritual Life

[jzramom]

It was convicting to me that his very good friend and business partner of 10 years was a Christian and never shared the gospel with him for fear of "ruining his day" Yikes! The gospel in humble love is a gift we should be excited to share. Hummm.... where have we heard this.... Like our favorite restaurant. Only we are sharing the opportunity free eternal life with our creator. Do you think we could run our own "I'm glad you asked?"

ps
where is spell check?

> Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow."

>
>
> "How many seconds in a year?

> Now that one is harder," replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about

>
> Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve?
>
> Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve

>
>

>
>
> Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's

>
>
> "Hold it," interrupts St

>
> Can you tell me God's first name"?
>
>
> "Sure," Forrest replied,

> "it's Andy."
>
>
> "Andy?" exclaimed an exasperated

>
>
> "Ok, I can understand how you

>
>
> "Shucks, that was the easiest

> WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN."
>
>
> St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates,

> and said: "Run Forrest, run."
>
> Give me a sense of humor, Lord.
>
> Give me the ability to understand a clean joke,

> To get some humor out of life,

> And to pass it on to other folks.
