I thought the food was excellent and the restaurant was very nice inside.  At the end of the meal there was, of course, a fortune cookie.  Normally I don't focus in on the actual fortune but today's cookie got me thinking.  </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"Suppose you can get what you want..."This weekend at church we had a visit from Bishop Salamat Khokhar.  He is an evangelist from the country of Pakistan.  He spoke with us about being in a country where the Christians are in the minority.  It was amazing how he walks with such boldness.  That is the boldness that I have prayed for.  I asked him what was the difference between Christians in the US and overseas.  His response was, "The American Christian is lazy."</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I thought about that alot.  I mean I wouldn't call myself lazy but as I thought about it I realized that yes I am.  I mean I don't proclaim the Gospel like I should.  I don't go out of my way to tell someone about God. </p>

<p>At first I was sad but than it made me have a greater desire to get off of my butt.  God gave me a purpose and it is time to really put my heart and soul into it.</p>]]></description><link>http://carltonmatthews.com/fortune_cookie_/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">c9e0162e-ba06-44a8-8d1a-f93c81629926</guid><category><![CDATA[god_focus]]></category><category><![CDATA[ideas]]></category><category><![CDATA[food]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carlton Matthews]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 12 Mar 2007 17:16:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
