My business cards came in yesterday.  I set them up through a company that provides free cards (just the cost of shipping) for 250 cards.  They are matte finish, and aren’t the most attractive card in the universe, but they do feature my contact information, a Bible verse, and a quick sentence reinforcement of my faith in Jesus.  It also has a website url to the story of how I came to faith in Jesus.

I envisioned using the card as something to hand to people if I do get into a spiritual conversation, so that if they want to continue it, they can contact me.  It seemed to me to be a useful thing to have, more versatile than a tract.

Of course, now I need to actually use them.

I am still thinking tracts could be handy to give to people to keep them thinking after the conversation is over.  I don’t like the idea of just handing them out willy nilly - a piece of cardstock is not a loving way to share the good news with someone.  However, as something to consider after a conversation has run its course, I see a role.

Heh.  Looking at the above, I sound so considered and experienced.  But all I really want to do is figure out how to share my faith with others so that they receive it in the spirit it is intended.  I know it won’t happen 100% of the time the way I’d like, but I’d like to shoot for 80%.

Of course, I won’t even get that until I give it a shot.  A batting average cannot be calculated until you start to take swings.
