Two years and one week ago, I left Los Angeles and moved to Kansas City. We only knew one family here and even they aren’t really all that close to us. So, I really expected to have to start over in every sense of the word since
But the past keeps walking up and reintroducing itself to me!
Our typical Sunday routine is to go to church and then spend a few hours at The Prayer Room.
About one month ago, while I was walking and praying, a man came up to me and and asked, “Are you the Lord of the Castle?” (Except, he used my real name.)
“Yes.”
It turns out that I led him to Christ when he was a college student at UCLA 23 years ago!
That was the second time that had happened. The first time was one year ago when another man approached me in exactly the same way!
Well, today a third person from my past stepped back into my life.
He drove from Nebraska to Kansas City. His wife has an appointment with a doctor in Missouri tomorrow. He decided to stop by The Prayer Room for a little bit.
It just so happened that I was outside talking on the phone with my son when he walked up and asked, “Are you the Lord of the Castle?” (Except, he used my real name.)
He visited our church in Los Angeles to lead a four week long outreach during the 1984 Olympics. I knew him for about 4 weeks 26 years ago!
I guess I look pretty much the same after all of these years. That hair goo must really be working miracles!
We ended up going out to eat with him and his family and catching up on 26 years of life during dinner.
I don’t think that this is quite what people mean when they say that good things happen when you pray!
