Yesterday, after a week of "johnnies", we finally got to go back to the chow hall to eat. On the menu for the day: BBQ pork links for lunch and sweet and sour pork for dinner. The pork links were good but I think the kitchen workers lost their groove because the pork rolls were burned to a crisp. Today's meals: both pork, also. After a long stretch of PB&J we are now having a pork marathon. At least we get veggies this time around.
One of the guys in the dorm told me about his dream last night. He dreamed that I got the death penalty for something and that I was scheduled to be executed the next day. In his dream he was trying to argue on my behalf to get me off the hook because he knew that I would never do anything to deserve the death penalty (his words.) He said he felt like it was a message for him to learn as much from me about Christ as possible in the time we have. I hope that it doesn't mean death for me, but I'm excited at the chance to share my faith with someone willing to listen.
Thank you, God, for opportunities. Lord, give me the insight and strength to share with others.
* Colossians 4:4-6 - "Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
