Oh and I’ve had a similar situation with my teachers. One of my high school teachers recently came to know Christ! He and I had a series of conversations my senior year and I invited him to one of our philosophy discussions on fridays. When he told me the news a few months ago about his decision he said I had played major role in his decision. Praise God!

Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
(Luke 15:3-7; NIV)

And btw: If you are coming out here for Rick Warren’s seminar-thing and need a place to stay, I think I could hook you up with a place. Later man, hopefully I’ll catch you on AIM.
