What happened today is…

So I don’t know why I didn’t post about this earlier but one day this guy came into my job. He looked at my necklace and said you have a fish on your neck. I said yeah I do. haha he said why do you have it there? My reply was well it is for my faith, I am a christian. WELL I did not realize this would start a huge discussion as to how christians are today and how we need to be in the word everyday because we need to be close to God and how pastors are always about just money and that they are not what they should be. I spoke up at this point and was like oh my pastor is not like that he isn’t at all about just the money. So he asked me his name and what church I go to. I explained I was a part of a church plant and that my pastors name was Mike. He asked me the last name so I said Larkin. He persisted that he knew him and his whole family. I was like you probably don’t know him. “Oh yeah he lives in haddam doesn’t he. I know mike really well his dad is so-and-so.” (me) “Um I really don’t think you know him.” (him) “Oh yeah I know him he has a brother, yeah I know him.” (me) ” haha nope not the right guy” This went on for a little bit he didn’t believe me. But a lady came up to me after she heard the whole conversation and said just so you know you handled that very well. I was like oh okay. It was just funny because we as Christ followers have made such a name for ourselves. I just want people to know that it is not like that at all! Yes, we love God but that does not mean we are hungry for just your money and don’t want you to know who He really is. It just made me laugh.. “Oh yeah I know him yeah I know him really well.” UHH NOPE! Mike you’re awesome for not being the type of pastor he was talking about! I KNOW I can speak on behalf of everyone I know WE LOVE YOU!
