Very late here and I should be asleep, but just a note to say that I was thrilled tonight to be able to attend a benefit dinner for Lydia Home at which the guest speaker was Josh McDowell. Josh is a big part of why I am a Christian today. I first heard him speak at the University of Auckland in 1985 and he was the first person I heard talk about the idea that Christianity could be accepted on the basis of rational intellectual analysis. This was a big turning point for my thinking about God.
I was delighted to be able to chat with him very briefly after the dinner tonight and I was surprised that he actually remembered the meeting I attended 22 years ago and recalled the details of the venue in the university recreation center and remembered being heckled by a young guy, which I also remember. Very cool.
