Dad Testifying in a Courtroom

Over the years, God gave Dad (Max) a number of neat and sometimes quite interesting opportunities to share the Gospel.  One of these was in a courtroom.  Dad gave testimony in a trial.  The defendant was someone who had some sort of drug charge. (I don’t remember the specifics of the case).  Since the crime, he had become a Christian and his life was wonderfully transformed.  Dad testified that he had all the earmarks of a real Christian.  To that, the lawyer asked him, “What is a real Christian?”  Dad turned to the judge and asked if he could take a few minutes to explain.  The judge nodded.  He had everyone’s attention.  What an opportunity!
