RT Session Part 3

Part 3 of my blog on the RT sessions...

I bought the book 'A Purpose Driven Life' by Rick Warren for Andy quite some time ago. However, having left the book in the office, I kept forgetting to bring it with me to the RT session so that I could pass it to him.

Anyway, I finally remembered to bring it today, and after having registered my attendance, sat myself down beside him. We started chatting, and I wondered how I should give the book to him. Should I just take it out of my bag and pass it to him? Wouldn’t that seem strange?

Me: "Here, I just thought that this book would be suitable for you."

Him: "'A Purpose Driven Life?' Are you insinuating that I lack a purpose in life?"

I could not really think of a way to give him the book without making it awkward, and finally decided that it might be easier to just pass it to him after the entire RT session was over (i.e. at the end of the 20th session).

And that was when Andy turned to me and asked, "Have you heard of this book called 'A Purpose Driven Life'?"

I was so taken aback that I did not know how to react for a moment. Here I was, fretting over how to give the book to him, and along came God to pave the way for me! So, I took it out of my bag and said, "Yeah, in fact, I got the book for you!"

Think he was pretty stunned as well.

God truly works in marvelous ways!

It's Valentine's Day today, and for some strange reason, the number of persons attending RT were more, filling up almost the entire parade square. The instructors were scratching their heads and wondering out loud, "Why so many people here today huh?"

Personally, think many of the guys might have opted to go for RT so that they would not need to bring their girlfriend out for dinner / get V-Day gifts.

Girl: "Dear, look at this ad! A V-Day Dinner and a bouquet of roses at this fancy restaurant for only $200+++!"

Guy: "Um - er - Oh yeah, I actually have RT on that day!"
