Emergency Room, Car Chase, City Dump, and Divine Appointment

What do all the above have in common? A very interesting Saturday afternoon. One Saturday after finishing our radio show, Jasper Harvest, Richard and myself headed out to share the gospel. We had no particular place to go, usually we go to a park or the mall, unless the Lord led us in a different direction. Well before we get to the park Richard makes a comment about not wanting to go to the emergency room. I believe my driving was the cause of the statement, even though my driving has brought Richard closer to the Lord in prayer.

When I pull into the park it looked dead, so I said,” you want to go to the emergency room, huh? He said,” no.” We decided that if the Lord was trying to reach someone in the emergency room it would be better to drive ourselves there than let the Lord make other arrangements. So we head for the emergency room. On the way we saw a carwash at Wal-Mart. Richard commented that it was refreshing they were not using young ladies in revealing clothing to draw business. I agreed that I appreciated it.



I felt that after the emergency room we should come back and give tracts to them. We went to the hospital in Jasper, and left tracts on all the floors, in the emergency room. On the way out of the Hospital, I saw a couple coming down the hall. I knew at that moment this couple was the reason we where there. So I gave them a couple Million Dollars, tracts.

We went from there back to Wal-Mart. We ended up behind a car with a licsense plate that says “stlblsd”. Richard commented on it, and we followed in to Wal-Mart behind them. We parked and went to the car wash people. It turns out they were part of a church group(explains clothing) and they give out tracts from Living Waters also. So I thanked them for being faithful, gave them my card and offered to help train them to share the gospel.

It started raining so we got back in our car and left Wal-Mart. We found ourselves behind the same car we followed in. So we decided, like most Christians, we where going to chase our blessings. We figured what is the chance that we would get behind them again, so we took it as a sign. So we decided to follow them to see where the Lord would lead us. Since we had not eaten lunch yet, I was hoping they were going to eat dinner.

We followed them out of town, beginning to hope the Lord was not calling us to Memphis or Little Rock today. They pulled into a gas station just outside of town, and… I will finish this later.
