A week last Wednesday I was in Town when I saw a guy named Gerard sitting outside the post office. I sat next to him and made an inquiry regarding a mutual acquaintance. Having received the required information I proceeded with another question. "do you believe in the BIG BANG theory and that all things evolved or do you accept the being of a Creator and Sustainer of all things?"
He immediately replied, "Big Bang".
I didn't say another word. I left him and went about my Fathers business.
The next day Gerard was dead. They say from natural causes...
In effect, he had denied the existence of the Creator and Sustainer of whom it is said, "He giveth life and breath and all things".
Gerrards denial was the cause of Gerard's life, breath and all things being taken away.
I have been relating this conversation around Town and seemingly brave men have begged me not to ask them. One female friend who is always joking and laughing became very, very serious and was hanging on my every word. She promised to give serious thought about everything I had said.
It's a small Town and news travels fast...
