Charlie

     Great morning this morning upbright and early and after a shower and got ready and down the bike to get it cleaned up and ready to go.  Got a chance to meet a guy named Charlie out in the parking lot who to help me put on my tire the night before. Charlie stop by to say good morning. Charlie is a community college teacher from New York City and says it's a tough job,  he says nobody really cares but you do the best you can. After bit of conversation Charlie admitted to me he was an atheist, said he saw my bike and realized i must be a christian and after sharing with him a little bit about what Jesus done in my life he made it clear yep  he's an atheist. We continued our conversation talking about the economy about government, jobs, leadership and where the world was heading, it was a great conversation and he always focused away from Christ and I focused towards Christ. He's a single Guy and lives in a little apartment in New York and he made it clear that he enjoys what he gets from smoking marijuana. 

     Says he smokes  marijuana a lot and he says it's what gives him the energy and strength to go on. Once are conversation drew to a closing we got talking about a small Kawasaki ninja that he rides in the state of Florida at a summer home of his and he said his clutch on that ninja is so nice and smooth and easy so I told him try my clutch.    Once he attempted to pull the clutch lever on the Harley-Davidson it was nearly impossible for him to do it, and and the first words came out of his mouth were Jesus Christ this is too tough.  And I quickly said hey you can't be an atheist, he said why, and i said did you hear what the first thing that came out your mouth was,Jesus Christ, whatever he said and kind of shrugged it off. it really had him thinking, but anyway I really pray today that God would touch Charlie's heart and make a difference in his life. Charlie's lonely and he really has no one in this world but his  marijuana and there's not a lot of hope in that. God watch over Charlie today keep him safe in Jesus name amen.
