After work today, Tina and I walked around the man-made lake and park in Edina called Centennial Lakes. When she went off to women's group, I ate at QCumbers. As I was walking in, one of the customers was talking to one of the staff. At first I thought there was some kind of evangelizing going on, but I couldn't hear well enough to be sure I had not been mistaken. Anyway, I was seated right next to the man and his wife. Very attractive black couple. I was reading Christian Initiation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit so I positioned myself so that the title would be obvious to the man who was facing me. I thought it might intrigue him to approach me. It took 45 minutes but he finally came over to my table and asked me about the book. Then we had a nice conversation. He is a chaplain at Abbot Northwestern Hospital. I shared about my former bookstore and my conference recording business. Talked a bit about Pentecostal history. He is COGIC. Very nice, outgoing gentleman who probably makes for the right kind of personality for a chaplain. We exchanged cards. He is going to talk to his bishop to see if he wants me to record their annual conference. He talked about Billy Steele bringing Tremaine Hawkins to town and how much they both enjoyed the concert. I shared about how 4,000 Maltese kids sang "O Happy Day" to the pope two days ago since that song was written by Tremaine Hawkins brother, Edward. They thought that was very cool.
I love these kinds of spontaneous connections.
