I Support the Spread of Christianity

A number of years ago a middle aged woman wandered in to my Sunday school class and took a prominent seat near me. We made introductions and she said that she wasn't a Christian but was into spiritual experiences. She had been to Tibet and seen the Buddhist prayer wheels spinning and she was truly moved. Her next exploration was Christianity. She sat through the lesson and the service then showed up the next week. Similar to the first week she listened attentively and asked polite if misguided questions one might expect from a non believer. After the third week I decided I would write her a personal letter explaining the Gospel message. I spent all week writing it staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning getting the message just right. As we met for the next class I slipped her the note and she proudly showed the class that the teacher had given her a 4 page letter. We waited a few minutes for the rest of the class to show up and the woman read the letter. About the second page in the woman let out an ear shattering shriek, threw the letter across the table and ran out of the class never to return. All these years later I still wonder what it was that so pierced her soul.
