Thanks. That was an excellent response. It doesn't much bother me when people come trying to convert me, although it doesn't have much effect, either. But the idea that it does them good is an idea I like. Funny thing, but this week's scripture in a great many denominations will be the story of the Woman at the Well. She's "trailer trash" in some respects, but she is also the first person in John other than John the Baptist and Jesus, himself, to get out and proclaim the message. Whether anyone listened seriously is not clear from the Gospel, but she certainly did testify.

I sometimes sit down with a few of the door to door people. It drives my wife nuts. I think I do it because I sense the frustration in their faces and I just want to give them the opportunity to talk. I am carefull to explain that I just wanted to hear what they had to say. They are always gratefull for the opportunity. I learn something too.
