Been Awhile…
The truth is, I’ve been terribly busy over the past month. Work has demanded far more of my time than there are minutes in the day. This week I have to go to California to help kick-start several projects. I am scheduled to fly out tomorrow so I’ll be there Monday morning. And that triggered a conversation between my boss and me yesterday morning. It went something like this.
Boss (who is also supposed to be going to California): I can’t get a direct flight to San Diego on Sunday so you are going to have to go alone. I’ll fly out Monday night and meet you there Tuesday morning.
Me: That’s fine.
Boss (about five minutes later): I can’t get a direct flight into San Diego at all this week.
Me: Why don’t you have <assistant name> switch my flight (I already had a flight booked) and you take mine. I’ll fly into Los Angeles and drive down to San Diego.
Boss: Oh, well if you are going to fly into LA, I’ll fly with you. I just didn’t want to drive down by myself.
Me: That’s fine but you are going to have to go to church with me on Sunday night.
Boss: What kind of church is it?
Me: Don’t worry. You’ll like it.
Boss: OK. Is it a Bible church?
Me: It’s unlike any church you’ve probably ever been to. Don’t worry. You’ll like it.

About this same time tomorrow night, I should be leaving the Mayan Theatre in downtown LA. This is where Mosaic, a church “Community of Faith, Hope and Love”, meets every Sunday evening. When I have to travel to California, which thankfully isn’t very often, this is where I go to church.
I do not like travelling without Lana and the girls. But I have to be honest, I am a little bit excited about this trip. My boss thinks I am trying to convert her. I think God is simply trying to get her attention.
Please keep the girls in your prayers this week.
I will be praying that your trip is safe and a great experience for you and your boss! I will also be praying for all of your girls to be safe and not to miss you too terribly much! Take care and God bless!
I’ll be praying also. God loves his people. I’ll pray God opens her eyes to the TRUTH- Yeshuah is Messiah. You’ll be in our State! Blessings on your trip.
or what if she is being open and trusting you and hoping you are as open as she… are you?
Hi Dave, I will be praying for you on your trip and that all of your girls are safe at home when you get back. I hope you have a great time at that church. God bless. In Christ, Joe
We will pray that Jesus touches her heart!! How wonderful that you are doing this for her!!!
Have a safe trip. I’m sooo excited I’m getting to hang out with ‘your girls’ tomorrow. It’s been too long.
God Bless, monica
Will be praying for you Dave. God uses each one of us in a way that we can’t imagine. God has put you in your bosses life for a reason. This is an opportunity for her to know our wonderful Lord and Saviour. It’s so wonderful that you are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. God will bless you in ways that you can’t imagine. Thanks for your boldness in Christ. We will pray for your trip, for Lana and the girls with you being away and for your boss, that she comes to know our Saviour and Lord.
We will miss you lots Dave! Have fun and make sure you sit in the front row!
I probably should have contexted my post a little bit better. My boss and I have worked with each other for more than eight years. We occasionally have conversations about life, God, spirituality, etc. So I’m quite certain that she took my, “you are going to have to go to church with me on Sunday night,” comment completely in stride, not as it might have come across in my post.
We did go to Mosaic tonight. Although we were late (darn LA traffic!), it was still good. Hopefully, my boss will tell her side of the story tomorrow.
