Brock's Witness

As Brock was running near our house on Saturday (I was too lazy to run that day), he saw a sketchy couple carrying a couple of beers come out of the woods and begin walking his way. When they passed each other, the guy asked Brock if he had a chain. Brock made some comment like it was in his other pants or something. The couple basically said that they were kidding since they knew that he had nothing on him while he was running. However, they were stuck in the mud down in the ditch.

Brock told them to give him 10 minutes or so. He ran the mile and 1/4 back home and got his 4 wheel drive truck. He took his new tow strap out of the package and pulled those people out like it was nothing. Brock was so excited to be able to use his 4 wheel drive and actually pull someone else out for a change.

The guy pulled out a stack of 20's and wanted to pay Brock, because it would have cost him a lot of money to get a tow truck. Brock simply told him that he didn't need to pay him. He said that his life had been changed by Jesus some time ago, so now, he puts his money where his mouth is. The guy hung his head down in shame immediately. Brock didn't say anything more about it, but obviously the guy was convicted. The Lord must have been doing something in his life, because what Brock didn't preach at the guy or anything. You never know what the Lord is doing in others.
