Sorry this took so long Cody i know i told you i was going to do it days ago. I had alot of good conversations with people at GO but there's one that really sticks out to me. Vincent and i went to the court houses and were going around offering to read the bible and pray with people and the first guy we talked too was probably the only one who wanted to pray with us. His name was charles and he caught a D.U.I., we went through road to romans with him and after we were done reading he was begining to tear up, he was just really happy to know that God always forgives and loves us and gives us strength to fight sin as along we ask. He ended up taking a bible and praying with us and said that he felt like god sent us to talk to him. Just knowing that God worked through me made me feel really good about myself. There was another woman i talked to on the last day but i came in halfway through the conversation so i don't know the whole thing. E. H. if you remember the story do you mind sharing it?

Bah. Sorry. I meant to post earlier, but..life has been getting in the way (just my brother getting married this weekend. No BIG deal, you know. o_O Kah. I kid. It was awesome and beautiful and.....)

ANYway, the woman we met on Friday? Her name is Elizabeth and she is from Pittsburgh. She was at Case touring with her niece (what a fabulous aunt!) from..either Oregon or Washington (I forget..).

She grew up in the Catholic church for some reason had lost faith in that system (I'm not too clear of the details, really), but she definitely had a VERY seeking heart and shared about how she had been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness about ten years ago and it was around then that she began to really consider her "relationship with the Lord" (words straight from her mouth!).

She had some really great and genuine questions and at the end of the conversation, she shared about how just earlier that day she was wondering why the heck she was even at Case and she felt that it was exactly for the fact that she and we would meet and converse!

The end.

Gospel Odyssey was great!
