SUMMER 1976

So I was dating this girl in Milwaukee during Summer Vacation and we talked until very late in my car in front of her house. Yes we were just talking... and on the way home I went through some rough neighborhoods.

I stopped at a stop light and this guy came right up to my driver's side, opened the door and asked me for a ride to another bad section in town. I let him get in and decided that if he had the gall to hop in my car uninvited, I was going to be every bit as bold in telling him about Jesus, so I did.

To make a long story short, I took him to the place he needed to go and after he picked up some stuff he needed, I offered to drive him back to his house to the address where he hopped into my car. He gave his life to Christ and invited me up into his apartment where I met his wife and sleeping kid.

I drove home and got about 3 hours of sleep that night.
