Making new friends . . .

I meet a new friend here in albuquerque nm  today . . . I was hanging outside the hotel starbucks reading crazy love by Fracis Chan when I meet John Reed.  We spent about 2.5 hours together.  I got to listen to his story and share a cup of coffee with him.  After about an 2 hours I asked John if he had dinner plans and then we headed for the local subway where I picked up his dinner tab (i couldn’t eat – dinner plans with Nikki).  John asked, “why are you listening to me like this?”  When I told him it was because God loved him and I wanted him to know that.  He wanted to know, “how do you know that?”  I explained the love of God and Jesus . . . I explained that as a believer in God I am to Love God and Love Others so that they will know they are Loved by God and created in His imagine . . . he was blown away by those truths.  He said he had never heard God loved him or that he was created in God’s imagine.  John and I are going to try and connect again this week.  Here are some pictures from our time together.
