I
made a new friend on Twitter today. He noticed I was Catholic and challenged me. I’m not one for debates
via social media. It can get long and tiring but sometimes, things just need to
be said.
I don’t know how to convert people—I’ve tried—but I’m wise
enough to know that it’s God who changes hearts and minds, not me. I just need to speak up when called upon. “…always
be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason
for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,” (1
Peter 3:15).

And then, nothing. I guess he got tired of the likes of me. Now, we pray.
