God Sighting | August 1, 2009

Had an entire afternoon-through-evening seafood smörgåsbord at my cousin's house today. Her family comes from a religious background, but the reality of Jesus seems far from their lives. They had a guest named Gene, who was a pretty interesting guy to talk with--a former McKinsey partner and CEO of multiple companies. It was fascinating to speak with him about his experiences and line of study--Organizational Development and Communication. The food was delicious, and as for the conversation, Gene unexpectedly shifted the conversation toward thoughts about God, His reality, and what He is like--not once, but twice. At first, I thought it was a passing comment, but when Gene brought it up again, I thought, "Ok, this is the real deal. He's really interested in this stuff." Needless to say, more interesting conversation ensued.

Back in January of 2008, my holistic prayer was that God would develop and grow me (by any means necessary) to be in positions of influence whereby I would be able to influence other people in positions of influence for the Gospel's sake. It's been interesting to see glimpses of how He's been working this out, for His glory.

Another seed planted.
