What can bring clean cut preacher boy griff into a conversation with a man covered from the top of his head to toe in tattoos? If you said a sno cone, you would be right. A group of us setup for a second time in the park with a craft station, soccer game, and free sno cones. Rudy approached our table tonight with two lil girls. He asked how much the sno cones were, and I said “free”. He asked why were doing this. I told him that we were Christians and we wanted to just share God’s example of a free gift of salvation by giving out sno cones. We talked for several moments about his journey, his belief in God, his desire to be a good dad, he wanted to be attending church but hasn’t found one for him, how he returned to God of his upbringing in prison.  I gave him and his girls a new Bible and my card, He is supposed to meat us at the VBS.

All because of a sno cone.
