Number 19:
There is plenty of evidence for GOD. The most obvious is when the
Christian reviews his/her life and sees direction and purpose. An
atheist sees nothing because they are out of the loop. They may
see patterns in the lives of other people (if they are honest);
however, an atheist would want to chalk that up to coincidence or
luck or chance. Destiny is a bitter pill for an atheist.
Now my brother-in-law is a prime example. His mother was a public
school teacher and his father is a very liberal Lutheran (he thinks
truth is relative and everyone is headed for heaven by different
methods). Now, my brother-in-law WAS a rather nasty guy. What my
sister saw in him I'll never know; however, he was determined to
do what he wanted, the way he wanted, whenever he wanted, and didn't
care who he hurt or insulted or why.
He lost several good career opportunities (temper). He threw my
parents out of HIS house (temper). He walked out of my home (temper).
My sister decided to ask him for a divorce. It was then he hit bottom
and GOD found him. My brother-in -law became a missionary and he
stuck like glue with my sister while she battled Anorexia and took
care of the children.
This was his baptism by fire. Had he still been an atheist, he might
have run with kids and left her. He might have just left (bad scene).
He is still in CHRISTIAN services, his relationship with his wife and
children is growing, and his temper is almost non-existant. I am
very proud to call him my "brother". For him life has a reason and
funny, my brother-in-law's brother has been influenced by his big
brother's change. Now, if we can only get his dad to see the light.
