script flip
The missionaries were downtown in full force this morning, distributing holy pamphlets and preaching to the homeless around Lake Eola. Two ladies hovered over one guy on a bench, preaching the ways of the Lord to him though he couldn't have been less interested. In fact, I'm not sure how he was supposed to hear them with his headphones on. But the women were persistent. They were talking to him when I showed up to walk my dog around the lake, and they were still with him when we left. I wonder what he was listening to on the headphones.
But my favorite scene was the man who decided to preach back to two other ladies. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son!" he said in his best Sunday preacher voice. The ladies were clearly freaked out and tried to walk away. "Don't you want to talk about the Lord?" he asked.
"Sure, but you're going to need to walk and talk," one of them replied. And so he did. It was kinda awesome seeing how uncomfortable they were. But I'm sure they were oblivious to the fact that they make most of the other people out there feel that exact same way!!!
