Happy, Saved and Free !

Tuesday March, 2nd.

A friend of mine always seemed to answer the question "How are you?" with "Happy, Saved and Free!" followed up with an almost definite " ... and, hows your soul."

It is always interesting to watch and hear how people react. Some become automatically defensive, saying "Why do you want to know?" Some people get offended, some shocked and some just think you must be one of those religious nuts.

I have decided as a spiritual experiment to include this greeting in all my conversations this week. So far it is great. Most people I have spoken to ask me to repeat myself and then when they get it, they respond with a positive "good to hear!"

It may seem like a waste of time but why not try to add a God Bless you or like sentiment to your voice mail or conversations. God words are powerful and why not throw out blessings to as many as possible. It definitely disrupts the spiritual complacency of everyday language and opens a door for further conversation.

That's my challenge, add some blessing words to your everyday words or media and see what happens.

Any ideas?

Hows your soul?
