I was up in the snack car online working on a Bible study I'm doing, and there was a car full of people. Well 10 people is a pretty full food car because the tables take up so much room. Well away they were all talking about the problems in America, people out of work, the prices of everything being so high, and about the hard times they all seemed to think was ahead. I just kept working on my computer, listening to the things being said, smiling at some of the comments being made and every now and then letting out a little laugh at a comment, so they knew I was there, but for the most part being silent. Listening the whole time to what each one was saying as to know where each one stood on the different issues they were talking about, waiting for the place to come into the talks.
After being in there about 20 minutes or so, someone said something about the mistake Nixion made taking America off the gold standard. And how that was one of the biggest reasons for our trillions of dallors in debt. I saw my opening and came in saying "when a country allows a private bank to print their money and charge the country interest to do so, it can only lead to one place, a bankrup country, and that going off the gold standard and the point we did, really didn't matter much at that time. The country was going deeper and deeper into debt being on the gold standard or not. That is why article one of the constitution made it very clear that only Congress shall have the right to coin money, because all our early forefathers knew that allowing a private bank to print our money would allow the bank printing our money to steal the wealt of the country without the people even knowing it was happening."
Well after making that statement the questions started coming, and they were really listening to my answers and wanted to know more and more. Well anyone that knows me knows that it doesn't take me to long to bring my 66 caliber (the Bible) into the conversation. I started pointing out how the Bible told us thousands of years ago that the things happening in the world tdoay would come about. Before long I was wittnessing to a car full of people and they were all listening, in fact I got a couple of email addresses out of it. Well I was in that car for a little over 3 hours, talking about American history, the Constitution, the law and how what we are told is the law really isn't, how our God given rights are are not the same as what they call Constitutioal rights, and why they want you to talk about Consititutionl rights so you wouldn't knw about your God given rights, and of course how the Bible pulls everything together, and makes it all make sense. Praise God that He kept my mouth closed until the right time.
Well during that time that I was in that car I came back to find out that we were once again moved back yet one more car. Everyone going to Orlando just kept getting moved back when new people came onboard. Well during the time I was witnessing to people in the snack car, Ron was back at our car meeting some people also, I met them the next morning. A pastor and his wife, that wants to start getting tracts form the Little Red Book. Also he was talking to this other lady looking for a church, coming to find out she lives right around the corner from the church we will be staying at. I mean she can walk there in less than 5 minutes that's how close she lives to it. She even knows where it is. She said she was going to be there Sunday, I pray she comes.
Well here are a few pictures from the second day of the trip.

This is a picture of the woman we met on the train that lives next to the church we hope to see her Sunday.
After getting off the train in Orlando we had to catch a bus to Tampa. I'll be telling the rest of the trip in my next post.

Great story Bernie, your taking good advantage of you opportunities afforded you to spreed the good news. Your patience certainly payed off by waiting for some financial history to give you your opening. You pointing out the deliberate plain to destroy our monetary system exposes the extents of evil around us to people, who otherwise would assume it was just inept leaders. These truths are what woke me up from my slumber. If true evil operated so openly in our world certainly true good is here standing up against them, wish in a short time lead one to ones purpose expressed in Ephesians 6:10-18. Knowing your enemy is the first step to victory. I hope a follow up though email transpires also.
Keep safe your friend

Thanks John I think the thing that amazed me the most was that it really wasn't hard to talk about the Bible to them once there was a commond ground of interest. I guess you can say it is one of those times when I really understood what Paul ment when he said: "I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." 1Co 9:22(b). It was having some understanding of what they were all talking about, and hitting them with something that really caught their attention, that God used it to open the door for me to start talking about the Bible. Tell everyone in class and Movie night that I said hello, and that I miss everyone. Tell them to check out the site and talk to me through comments. Great hearing from you, hope to hear from you again soon.
Your friend and brother in the Lord,
Bernie
I Certainly will tell them about your great blog Bernie, and to comment here. Enjoy your nice Florida weather. Substantial snow finally came to Rochester on Friday the 13Th and now we are in a cold snap. You are going to be missed around here so keep safe and return back.
Spread the good news
Your friend John
