HOW GOD HELPS YOU OUT
WHEN YOU'RE LUNCHING WITH AN ATHEIST

I have this dear old friend who is an avowed atheist. We hadn't seen each other for close to 10 years, but met for lunch to get started on a new project of mutual interest.

We sat by the window at Panera's in a mid-town location, far from where either of us lives.

He brought up the name of a mutual friend who neither of us had seen for close to 10 years, either. He gave me an update: she had moved away but was back and working here in some capacity. We agreed that one of us should look her up "someday."

BOOM! We saw her walking down the sidewalk . . . and then she came right into Panera's!!!

Both our jaws dropped to our chests. My atheist friend was able to speak:

"What is this? DIVINE INTERVENTION?!?!?"

He laughed at the irony. I smiled at him meaningfully, nodded, and gave him my Christian Goo-Goo Eyes . . . thanking God for one more piece of well-timed "coincidental" ammo of how real He is, to woo him out of atheism and into the light of the Savior's love.

And yes, our mutual friend is interested in learning more about our new project and would be a great asset. So it was a fun "coincidence" all the way around.

Panera's is a great place to encounter the Bread of Life!
