KeenanParkerII Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Im sitting here on campus studying and I take a five minute break.. take out this little copy of the Psalms and start reading, feeling a bit awkward.. I didn't even think anyone could see me, but this guy walking buy just says "That is Life!" and nods at my book. It made my morning! God Bless you this day as we strive for true life in the world.

Ephrem Augustine Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I was doing that one time, a man walks up to me and says, "You know every word in that book is true." Smiles and walks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhetoricfemme Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 That is most awesome! A few years ago I was sitting in a coffee shop reading [url="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Choosing-to-Be-Catholic/William-J-Omalley/e/9781594710438/?itm=1&USRI=choosing+to+be+catholic"]Choosing to Be Catholic[/url], and this random college aged guy walked by, stopped and said, "You've found the Lord, that's great!" or something like that (I could probably dig out that era's journal to tell you what he exactly said, lol). I asked him if he was Catholic, and he said no, he was Lutheran, but it was still great that I had God in my life. I had warm fuzzies. We were in a resort ski town that weekend and I had altitude sickness, so I sat in a few coffee shops that day, lol. In one of them, there was a young guy who'd hurt his leg so he was sitting there, too. He was had a big stack of books about Catholicism and the priesthood. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, I was too excited/bewildered/shy to ask him any questions. Kinda regret that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeenanParkerII Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 I completely forgot I had posted this thread!

I doubt this guy was Catholic; there are a lot of Protestant Bible clubs at my Uni. But it was a warm fuzzy moment nonetheless.

[/quote] Awesome. A couple years ago after Mass my pregnant mother was starving and since the drive was longer than 20 min my dad decided to stop off at McDonalds. We get our food, and do what we always do= prayed and began to eat. It was obvious we came from Mass for the girls were wearing dresses and the guys suits. This african american guy through out this whole time was smiling and nodding apporvally at my parents. Before we left he stopped my parents and told my dad and my mom they "were doing just fine"! It was really cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
