Strangeness

How does someone you haven't talked to in at least a year or two have you pegged? How does he give you the particular piece of advice / friendly shove in the right direction that you need at that particular moment? It's a strange thing to say the least. Thanks, Paul. Now all I have to do is follow your advice; that'd be the more faith-requiring part.

Joe Dutcher preached an amazing sermon on the parable of the lost son from Matthew 15; pity my brothers weren't there to hear it. He invited them and I bent over the nails, but if you can't make a horse drink, you certainly can't make a hardened sinner come to the gospel, even when it's being preached by someone they seem to respect. God doesn't answer prayers the way I want, but He knows best.
