Unless mulls is ok with having it up there, it might be a good idea to blank out the last names...

I just changed it to something else... didn't want to ruin the flow of the story.

Aye. Marriage and kids definitely alters one's outlook.

In my yooth, shortly after college. I took in a couple of homeless teens to help them out after they lost their apartment (purely chaste - nothing happened in any way with either of them). Bad move.

After a month or so, I ended up getting stabbed in the neck in the middle of the night. They had let in a couple of guys they had met and planned to kill me and steal all my stuff to sell for drugs. By the grace of God above, the knife missed everything, but I carry a 1 inch scar to remind me.

Since then, I've become more cautious. I still help whenever I can, but I am very reluctant to get into a situation where my personal safety could be in jeopardy. I am even afraid to stop and help change a tire these days.

Guess I need to pray more on this to get back into proper perspective. I must trust the Lord in this area as I do in the rest of my life. Thanks again for posting this, as it has helped me to face part of my life i had not realized still affected me.

Good to know you don't actually want to experience it....

I was awakend by a pillow being pushed over my face, then a sharp pain in my neck. I didn't realize I had been stabbed and just thought someone was poking me with a stick. I pushed the pillow and the attacker off me while roaring incomprehensibly. He split fast (must seen my guardian angel helping me up). I put my hand to my neck because I still felt the pain and when I felt the blood, I realized what had happened.

I applied pressure, found my glasses (blind as a bat w/o em), called 911, then got dressed. The thought of paramedics and cops finding me in my skivvies was unbearable.

Even though I wasn't very close to God at that point in my life, He was definitely close to me. I should not have had the strength to throw him off me. I should have been dead, but the knife missed everything critical. I should have been panicked, but was very calm - just peeved about the whole thing.

Funny part - when I got back from the ER, they were all standing in the parking lot smoking. I ran in to call 911 again, my little bro (all 320 lbs of him) chased and held one. The cops got em all within 10 mins. Drugs sure do make you stoopid.

i'll be seeing him sunday night at 8.

At first I thought that question was directed at Groo and the guy who stabbed him in the neck. I forgot about how this thread started out...

Nice story.

For the record... when I was little, McDonald's did have onion rings-- the good kind with a whole ring of onion rather than onion bits. By the time I was in about second grade or so, they got rid of 'em... And now I'm hungry.

Onion bits! That's what they are! I was always wondering why all of my onion rings were empty!

it was incredible. i brought a trusted friend with me. we just sat and talked. we went over the essentials: who God is, what He's like, love, prayer, sin, the cross, etc.

it's such a great experience, because it blows away every mainstream evangelical idea about ministry. there is no sinner's prayer or altar call or 're-dedication' to be had here. and for the catholic fundamentalist, there would be no RCIA classes to attend or Journey Home shows to watch.

he simply believes with child-like faith and wants to know God better. it's about love.

i asked him to pray at the end to close out our time, and he did. if i was a crier, i would have cried.

thanks for asking.
