It was awesome seeing steven and his family get baptised yesterday.haha,i was getting all teary eyed. but i cry during disney movies so...but it was still really awesome.
later that day,though,it was kinda sobering.
you know how my dad does that sun night daniel study thingy? well we were at the church that night and me and hope were playing outside after it was over. when some guy comes riding through the parking lot on his bike. he smiled and said hi and then got off his bike.
i was freaking out and trying not to show it. so i asked hope if she wanted to go inside.and hope ( still smiling but i knew her well enough to know she was freaking out) says,"uh yeah". so we start walking up the walk to the doors. but then he starts to FOLLOW US. and im thinking he some rapist by this time, but im still trying to be cordial. (ever have to keep walking casually when you really want to run?its no fun.very frusturating actually) he mumbles something about wanting to talk to a pastor. and im as gullible as barbie according to gnomey:)i agree thou. so im say "sure hang on ill get him. hey dad!some one wants to see you." (i know my dads not the pastor,but the pastor wasnt there and i really didnt want to be around this guy too much longer.not that im prejudiced or something,but our church is right smack dab in the middle of the glory house[half way house from prision] juvenile detention center, and alcholics anmous.so i was seriously freaked out.)
so my dad comes back after talking to him and after he managed to scrounch him two bucks.
we're not dumb. he was tweaking bad,but didnt want him get violent;so we just gave him money and watched him leave. honestly,i dont think we should of given him any money.i wished there was something we could do when people wander in to ask for money.
like have some of the older guys who used to have drug addictions but got saved and have them talk to him or something like that.
