The first time I saw the little green version of the Gideon's Bible was in college. (Not a Bible really. More like 1/3 of a Bible. It's got the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs.) I was driving my car along the what's called the "Green" in Hanover, New Hampshire, when some zealot threw one in my car through the open window. Being a Christian, I simply added that Bible to my burgeoning collection of Bibles and mused on the oddness of the spiritual discipline of Bible-throwing on target.Well, my favorite magician, who also happens to be an outspoken atheist, Penn Gillette, was recently given the very same version of the 1/3 Bible. But he didn't have it thrown at him. I'll let him explain:

Let's continue to lift Penn Gillette up in prayer. Remember that the Apostle Paul was once an umbeliever as well. I believe that God has a plan for each of us that includes Him, and I also believe that one day, Penn Gillette will be counted among the believers. All this because of one man's obedience. Praise God!
One thing I really noticed, was at the end when he stated that "Religion does some bad things", yes it can, but it is not about religion, it is about relationship! a relationship with our Heavenly Father! Lord, may the seed that this man has sown grow, and be strong, for you! Lead him into a relationship with YOU! AMEN!
We don't realize how powerful & how far a small act of genuine kindness can go. If, we as followers of Christ could continue to walk in the fruits of the Spirit how many more ppl like this man could be touched! Galatians 5:22-23! G-d will give seed to the sower!
I was wanting to show this clip off of youtube to my youth group to talk with them about witnessing and being real, but now I can seem to find it anywhere and the link I went to says something about "embedding removed by request". Any idea how or why or can we simply not view it anymore?
Then we should continue (or start to) pray for God to work in his life I will commit to once per week. any others?
