I'm kidding. Keep reading. That's just a really dangerous attention grabber.
A bit over a week ago I was at the train station reading a book. A man carrying blue pamphlets came over and said, "Here, long as you're reading take a look at this."
That's about as smooth as you can get when you're trying to talk to someone about Jesus. I've never met someone who felt comfortable talking about Jesus to strangers, and I've got to hand it to Jehovah's witness for sticking with such a thankless profession.
I mean it; they must have some faith to get them through the day. Not enough faith to make me want to try their walk of life by any means, but enough to inspire me to write a blog post at midnight.
That said, yesterday I posted a piece longer than many essays I've submitted, so Jehovah's witness isn't going to get too much out of me.
There are two things to be said for them just based off of the pamphlet they gave me. First they didn't include a phone number. Second, the whole pamphlet was a list of reasons to read the Bible. So kudos for sticking with the program. All in all, it was one of the best put together opportunities for conversion I've been offered.
The pamphlet is also a well sized bookmark once folded in half, although I've yet to use it in a Bible. I'm not exactly sure what the logistics of using a Jehovah's witness pamphlet to mark out scripture would be anyway.
So thank you to the brave man walking the city with pamphlets of Biblical truth. I pray that you find the strength each day to keep on bearing the good news, or that you find a better job. Know that your work has ended my search for the place where I stopped reading when I closed my book.
