Over on CrunchyCon, Rod Dreher has a wonderful post<\/a> about those moments in life that direct you to God. He tells the story of Bob Novak – the conservative commentator once known as the “prince of darkness” – being confronted and changed by God and asks what small moments in life directed you towards God.
\nHere are a couple of my moments:
\n– Meeting a seminary student named Jeff Brown when I was in high school. He was an intern at our little church and he radiated something divine – something that drew me and other kids to him. He started a little youth group and made Jesus approachable.
\n– Watching my children be born and seeing them take that first breath that turned their little bodies from milky grey to glowing pink.
\nWhat are your moments?
\nThanks Rod for such a wonderful post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
