Josh and I went to play hockey this evening (some Christian young men get together on Saturday evenings to play indoor hockey). One of the guys who normally plays goalie couldn't make it tonight so Josh put on all of the pads, gloves, helmet, etc and jumped right in at goalie. He did a great job! 22 goals were scored on him, but that's not bad seeing as how 17 goals were scored on our goalie who does this every week! Josh was wiped out from dropping to the floor to block goals and cover the loose ball. Then he would have to jump right back up for the next shot on goal. He was exhausted and I was a bit worried about him over heating, but he drank plenty of water and kept with it!!!! It is a great feeling to have a son old enough to play sports with and to fellowship with, even though he did block all of my 4 shots on goal!
On a serious note, please pray for our neighbor who lives upstairs. His name is Gabe and he is a very nice young man. I had the opportunity to present the Gospel to him this evening before leaving for hockey. He is from the St. Louis area and moved here to work studying some kind of local fish in the rivers. He said he doesn't believe in Heaven or Hell or even that people have a soul. He is convinced that evolution is real and has been proven, even though he admitted it was still a theory. It was a great conversation that we had and most importantly, he heard the plan of salvation and the Word of God. I am asking all of you to pray that the Word of God would prick at his heart and that he will get saved. My heart is burdened for him. Please keep him in your prayers.
