In the flyer and in my letter of invitation, it had a controlling idea for the day: “How would you start a conversation about Jesus with the person behind you at the checkout line at a grocery store?” I saw that and was heartened that the date didn’t work for me. My answer would have been to hightail it to the eight-items-or-less express lane. Our lives should be loud and clear, not our words. The great Shirley Torres at Homeboy says, “We’ve become a culture that lectures more than listens.” It’s not about broaching a subject, but living clearly.
