It all started when my daughter, Evelyn, came in one night (past her bed-time) to ask me, "Dad, when did you first know God was real?" Lisa always gives me the hard questions...
Evelyn's question knocked me back, because it was so authentic and heart-felt...and real....and rich....
I told her a story about when I was a little boy, with my experiences. What a moment...
So, that led to this particular episode, where I had the chance to ask Brian that same question: "When did you first know God was real?" Deep stuff. Real stuff.
And, how does Lent continue to give us a space and time to share and reflect on these deeper questions? What makes some questions so real and...gripping.....awareness-provoking?
I have to tell you, I love having a chance to sit and talk with a friend who is willing to talk, to really talk, to laugh, to share, to wonder...to take our lives so seriously without taking ourselves so seriously.
So, explore...and let us know what you think. What if you asked someone that same question: "When did you first know God was real?" See where that conversation goes...
