Wales.... India...... and pens.
Great story from a visiting pastor at Bible study last night.
A pastor was preaching at a church in Wales and someone who was listening did not believe the Gospel.
The preacher left and had to get a train home but the unbeliever started to pursue the pastor to ask questions.
Just as the train was approaching, the man told the pastor that he couldn't walk the walk of the Christian life.
The pastor boarded the train and started doing a motion, indicating his pen was walking, dropped it and kept picking it back up, he kept doing this until the train departed.
Years later they "happened" to see each other at a Christian conference in India (not a typo).
The man (now converted, praise God) asked the pastor "Do you remember me?", the pastor said he did and asked the man if he understood the gesture.
The man says: "Yes. In our walk with Christ, we will continuely stumble and fall but each time Christ will pick us back up!
