First post!

Hi everybody! I'm Zane. For those of you who know me well, you might be asking yourself, "How in good conscience could Zane give himself another excuse spend time on a computer and thereby remain single forever?" Great question! Well, just before winter break, my pastor Rex (Wrecks or T-Rex; you pick) sat down with me and told me to do something crazy. He told me to go out into the world at least one hour once a week to talk to total strangers about Jesus. On top of that, almost every time I go out I'm supposed to bring a new Jesus-loving friend with me and mercilessly burst their comfort bubble.

Cool. When Rex finished talking, I cowered in fear. A moment later, I smiled broadly, realizing that this was actually a really great idea. Then I cowered in fear again. And after going back and forth for a few seconds, I said something to the effect of, "That sounds awesome!"

I should have stopped there, but then I made the critical error of thinking. I always get into trouble when I think. "How can I keep myself accountable?" I asked, knowing that I have a tendency to start things and never finish them (so says about 150 unfinished thank-you cards from the past 15 Christmases and birthdays). His response was two-fold: 1.) I have to write this blog, and 2.) He's going to show the blog to other people, including my housemate, Ian, who could beat me up with his pinky.

Ian quickly (and eagerly) agreed to "help" me stay the course, and that brings us to today. I have a 1:30 PM appointment with Rex to share the Gospel. Prayers are appreciated.

BTW, leave a comment if you want to come with me to tell people about Jesus next week! It's a really cool thing to do. A lot of people don't like being approached, but if you love them and love Jesus, you'll do everything you can to point people to Him. The fact of the matter is that some people are just going to hell, and that bothers me. On the flip side, Jesus kinda rocks. Most people don't realize this.

I'll keep you posted on today's adventures!
Zane
