Meet Jessica Osborne, 20 year old waitress at an Angola, Indiana Pizza Hut. Why is she on my blog? Somebody just tipped her $10,000 so that she can go to college.
Here's the deal. Mom and two sons come into the restaurant at least once a week if not more, and eat pizza. Every time they come in, they ask for Jessica, by name, to be their server, then chat about their lives when she had the chance to talk. During one of their talks, Jessica shared how she's struggled to do the college thing because of lack of funds. She was even contemplating a move... The family responds with a $10,000 check, folded in half, and slid across the table.
As much as we as Christians focus on the depravity of man, isn't this awesome! When reading this article I found myself wishing/praying this mom and her sons are Chrisitans, because this is probably the most MISSIONAL thing I have EVER HEARD! They build a relationship with someone they are not directly connected to. They talk. They listen. They befriend. And when the opportunity is right, they share.
Mom and kids, whoever you are, thanks for living as an example/symbol of how Chistians can interact with the world.
FoxNews has the story, so go to them to get more than just my slice.
Please tell me there's not a lottery ticket, Nicholas Cage, Rosie Perez, and Bridget Fonda involved in this...
