"A Shot in the Dark"

I never learned your name, so this letter is a total shot in the dark...

We met at McDonald's, the one behind the high school in Pacific Grove, California. I was the pastor of the church on David Avenue, but I never told you. You and your friends talked more openly if I stayed underground. And you did talk openly, about being bored, LSD, tattoos, parents, music, religion, and sex. Everything you talked about was laced with sex. I understand that. Sex is a big part of life.

I want to finish our conversation.

I listened for twenty minutes as your questions poured out. But before I could respond, your friends interrupted us. I didn't see you the next week; and then I up and moved - Monterey to Minneapolis! Can you believe that? Anyway, I finally have a chance to respond. You knew I was a Jesus Follower, and I could tell that you wanted to be one too, so I'll shoot straight.
