Bellsouth "Merger"

I guess marriage encounters can happen at any time and at any place. Earlier this week, we were having our home phone/internet hooked up with a Bellsouth technician. We were talking about phones, the bellsouth/AT&T merger, and life stuff. I was able to share with him what brought us to Birmingham and how God had redeemed our lives and our story. Somewhere between the phone hookup and DSL, he began to share more of his story. He opened up about wanting to be closer with his wife and yet feeling like they were worlds apart.

So, as we were walking outside, I asked him if I could pray for him and his marriage. On the front porch, our home became ministry headquarters. As I prayed, I was thinking about the whole Bellsouth/AT&T merger...two completely different and unique companies becoming one. And I prayed for a holy merger to happen in their marriage. It was a very real moment...where another marriage encounter took place. I must admit...I did not plan for that to happen. Isn't it awesome, though, when God interrupts our day.
