A friend of mine, Papa Benayah pointed out to me the fact that if we follow God, we should talk about Him. He's our life so why not talk about Him more? Why not talk about how we met Him?
In the words of Mrs. Donna: "I love talking about Him, He's my favortite person in the whole world!"
Yeah and He's my best friend.  We often feel funny about talking about God, but it's not wierd, it's normal!

Consider this conversation:

Person 1: "I love spending time with my friend, Angie, she is so kind and honest and she's always there for me."

Person 2: "Really? I don't know Angie that well, I should spend more time with her and get to know her."

Person 1: "Yeah, and she's so much fun to be with!"

Pretty normal, right? And not at all wierd or uncomfortable.

Change it up a bit:

Person 1: "I love spending time with God, He's like my best friend. He's so kind and honest with me and He's always there for me. Plus He has the greatest sense of humor."

Person 2: "Really? I don't know God that well, I should spend more time with him and get to know Him better."

I'm sure you knew where that was going! Anyway the cool thing about God is that anything good you can think of (generosity, kindness, wisdom, patience) He's all of those things so you'll never run out of subjects to talk about Him. We can ask questions of Him too: What kinds of things does God like? How can I get to know Him? What have others experienced when they're with Him?

I've made my point - now for me to implement it...
