December 3rd - Sharing Pilgrim's Progress

I was in the hallway and noticed an older lady and small child looking at the mural and asking questions. I initiated conversation and the lady said that she had been reading the questions and songs in the cafeteria and was intrigued. So I was able to share with them the story of the book "Pilgrims Progress". They both seemed very interested. I then asked the lady if she would like a copy of the book to read and she eagerly replied, “yes!” She said she would give it back after she was done with it and I introduced myself. She said that she was an 8^th grade teacher at Catalyst Circle Rock School and was looking for a book for her classroom's read-aloud, but was hesitant to read that story because it was religious. I told her it was an allegory and the names of God and Jesus are never used explicitly. She smiled, clutched the book to her chest and said, “I just found my read-aloud. 2 chapters a day!” Praise God that now the 8^th graders will hear the story!!!!!!!!!
