“Well, what do you think?” That was my question. And I’m pretty sure she only took about 30 seconds before saying anything. But the awkward silence felt like an eternity. I’d just flown home from East Africa to raise support for my next term as a missionary. While there, I’d finally found the courage to tell a girl I was in love with her.

Early in pastoral ministry, I became a police chaplain for the department of Sandy, Utah. I didn’t last long. The head chaplain was a Mormon, and he wanted all the chaplains to unite together regularly for prayer. When I explained to him that I couldn’t do so because we didn’t worship the same God, he was shocked I’d say such a thing.
