“Hey Steve, what’s that on your leg?” my friend asked as we met for our men’s group early this morning.

“Varicose veins,” I replied. “I’ve had them for years. They’re a great witnessing opportunity.”

“What do you mean?”

“When someone asks me, ‘What are those?’ I can say, ‘Varicose veins.’ Then I ask, ‘If you were to die today, would you go to Heaven or Hell?'”

Another man from our group understood the concept. “That’s cool. If someone asks me what’s that stain  on my shirt, I can reply, ‘Oh, it’s coffee!’ If you were to die today, would you go to Heaven or Hell?”

He got it.
