encounter by dave petrescue a dream come true like all kids i had fantasized about having the opportunity to meet my sports hero never of course thinking id ever get the chance then- there he was big as life he shook my hand signed my paper and encouraged me to keep prac ticing football i was numb for days it was a high point of my life the day i met my famous hero we will never meet all of our heros and stars the odds are simply against us it sure would be great though to meet the most famous hero of all have you ever wondered what the odds are for meeting up with god is it possible to really know him i have met many people who by their own admission dont know god and many who dont care to know god but i have never met a person who really wants to know god and doesnt no matter what our religious background and training no mat ter where on this globe weve been raised anyone can truly know god if they want to the following true story comes from some christian missionar ies on the island of east kaliman tan indonesia in one of the tribes in the in terior there was a wood carver who was the village idol maker one day as he was going about his duties he began to reason that be cause his hands were making the gods his hands were therefore greater than the gods even though he continued his lucritive idol making business he began to worship his hands a while later however he asked himself who made my hands that question prompted him to look up into the sky and say whoever you are that made my hands if you reveal yourself to me i will worship you the very next day the mis sionaries came through the bush to this mans village with a near by tribesman as an interpreter after the village people had gathered together the missionary spoke to them through the inter preter his first words to them were im here to tell you about the god who made the heavens and the earth the trees and the animals you and your hands guess who the first one was to in quire about how he might know this god in the bible god has said if you seek me you will find me if you search for me with all your heart is it possible to really know god i challenge you to find out quarterbacks will all
