On Easter Sunday, our minister made a startling point.
"It's not my job to convince you of anything today. Either you believe or you don't believe. But I am here to tell you what this day means to me."
And on he went with a series of stories about what it means to have Jesus with him on a daily basis.
Like Pastor Tim, I am not here to make believers out of anybody either - whether from a religious, a sales or a social issues perspective. All I can do is tell stories about what I believe in. And in my case, I believe it's worth it to believe in the gifts I have been given, - whether I'm an introvert or not - enough so that I speak up in timely ways.
