Haulin' Metal

What'd you pray for this morning?

Something important, maybe ... like help financing a new big screen TV? Maybe it's a promotion or a special favor from the boss at work?

Or was it something really important ... like a reward, and asking for an overnight delivery at your doorstep to help sort out your dating life?

Where's Asking God to put you in the place where you could impact the most people for Christ on this morning's list?

I only know what I read, and you can read what I read here, posted on 2 July.

Norm's been following Christ and is a key volunteer at his church. But before he received Christ, Norm committed some crimes ... and now he's facing five years in prison.

Just before his sentencing, Norm's pastor asked what he needed praying for.

Norm didn't ask for prayers not to be sentenced to prison. Nor did he ask for better grades, a pay raise, a job promotion, a new house or car nor for God to upgrade his dating life.

Norm asked instead that "God place him where he could tell the most people about Christ. If that was prison, so be it."

Ok, that's some weight right there.

Because Norm's haulin' metal ... big time.
