After the funeral I was able to go out to dinner with just my parents at Anthony's. It was great food and conversation. Here is a view from where we ate.
We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. -1 Thessalonians 2:8

The on going question
I was sitting in a funeral today and all I could think about was my parents. As far as I know my parents don't know their Savior and therefore they will not be able to walk through the gates of heaven with me. How can I deal with this? How is it, that the hardest people for me to share my faith with is the ones closest to me? One of the coolest things to be a part of is to help bring someone to Christ but yet I shy away from talking to my very own family about it. We are selfish with our priceless Gift that Jesus has given us. I wonder why it is so hard. Jesus says in Matthew 10:35, "For I have come to turn 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law' a man's enemies will be the members of his own household." Why must it be this way in so many of our lives? I pray everyday that my parents will see the light, yet the best I can do to show them it is through my actions? There has to be more for us to do, there has to be more that I can do.
