63 ~ Tennis Club Bar

By Kay Heitsch

While our house was still on the market, I met with a realtor. We looked around several suburbs. This move seemed to be taking forever.

I was still sharing my testimony. I never wanted to share it with teenagers because I felt it would be too emotional.

But wouldn't you know, I was asked to share at a boy's detention center, high schools, and teen clubs. Since I had made a commitment to the Lord to be available, I accepted the invitations.

One night, I was asked to give my testimony at a tennis club to a large group of teenagers.

A microphone was set up in the auditorium, but it would not work. The person in charge suggested that we go to the bar down the hall instead.

Several people were sitting at the bar having drinks. I can't imagine what they must have thought when this group of teenagers walked in and sat on the floor.

The microphone was set up, and I gave my testimony of how God had changed my life and brought triumph out of the tragedy of Todd's death.

Why the microphone would not work in the auditorium, but did in the bar, is a mystery.

I was surprised that everyone who was drinking stayed and listened.

I smile every time I think about this situation and how God works to convey His message.

Again, God was making something positive out of Todd's death.
