Running while sober? Preaching with chains.

I am always amazed by the things you see while running...there's the usual...road kill, beer bottles and more cigarette butts than you can count. Every once in a while you run you come across something unique...the credit card sitting in the middle of a parkway, the coyote in the middle of the city and the guy who was trying to help me avoid a RWI (running while intoxicated). During my run Friday night I came across a cyclist that motioned for me to slow down...not that I run that fast, but apparently he had something he needed to share...danger up ahead?...little Jimmy fell in the well?...with a serious face he warns me, "hey man, watch out, the cops have a sobriety check point ahead!". REALY?? Boy was I glad I got the heads up on that one!!

Church today was awesome. Talked about how Peter viewed his imprisonment as an opportunity to expand God's kingdom. His chains were not an obstacle, but instead they were an opportunity to evangelize to the guards. And sure enough...Roman soldiers helped to spread the message of Christ as they traveled throughout the Roman Empire. So what "chains" do we have that God can use?
