Well, I have been silent for awhile now on this blog highway because I just didn’t have much to say. I have been spending most of my time with God trying to figure out what He wants me to do next. And as of this blog, I still don’t know. But I do know He is doing something in my life and He is making me very restless.

This past weekend, my wife and I attended my 40th HS reunion in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that’s right mister smart guy, 40 and it was an experience I will never forget. Seeing some of my old friends after 40 years was very rewarding. It reminded me why I hung out with them in the first place-good people. However, there was one thing I noticed about many of them-loneliness. As I would talk to them and look into their eyes you could just see it. I have heard other people talk about it but this was so obvious to me. These people needed a friend. I’ll write more later on this subject.

While talking to one of my closest friends, (We went to grade school all the way through HS together) I began to sense his deep feeling of being all alone. It broke my heart. I loved this guy-we did everything together and I looked up to him as a guy that would one day make his mark in this world. Now, he was telling me that he was all alone for the first time in his life. It still hurts me as I recall the conversation.

I was looking for the right time to get him by himself so I could share how he didn’t need to feel that way any longer but we kept getting interrupted . We never had another chance to talk. He did not make the final event on Saturday because of car trouble. So now I plan to write to him and build the bridge in order to share Christ with him so he does not need to feel lonely.

This reunion did a lot to remind me that ministry does not just happen in the four walls of a church building. Ministry happens wherever people are hurting. I live in this bubble and sometime I lose sight of what God is doing in other places on this planet. All I need to do is open my eyes and make myself available to God and He will use me and you to help those in need.

I have made a commitment to stay in touch with these people, especially Mike and do everything I can to share Christ with them. So far three of my classmates have heard the good news. There will be many more, I promise.

You know what? I think I just figured out what God wants me to do next-SHARE CHRIST with people.
