Today as I ran my errands I drove past a Christian advertising his religious knowledge on the sidewalk. He was sitting on a lawn chair on the edge of the sidewalk with a big umbrella for shade and a fair size sign sitting on his lap.
The sign was simple:
Repent
Trust
In Jesus
Interestingly each of the "Ts" were made into crosses. He sat there quietly, slowly turning his umbrella. It was an odd sight to see considering I've never seen this gentleman before on my very common ride home from the grocery store. Why today? What was his purpose? Did he really believe that this would work to convert souls?
It had me thinking about why someone would spend the afternoon sitting in a lawn chair with this sign. Is that a productive way to share this information? Really? Score one for me.
On the flip side, it also inspired thoughts about trust and what trust was to me. Score one for the sign bearing Christian.
After arriving home and settling in for the afternoon, I found myself writing and exploring the concept of trust. Dang. Score two for the sign bearing Christian.
Guess sitting on a side walk with a sign can actually inspire people. Go figure!
Moments questioning others actions.
Moment questioning your own.
