Almost Self-Reliant
Shiloh Acres,
Your story reminds me of a time we were visiting in Jerusalem at the home of some long time friends. They are not believers. We were there for the bar/bat mitzvah of their son and daughter born a year apart that were my daycare children years earlier. Shabbat afternoon with a house full of people, one of the guests asks me "So how is what you believe different from what we believe?" The entire room went silent. And I was able to the best of my ability tell them why we believe the Messiah has come and will come again.
Talk about feeling "on the spot"
