So...this was sent to me in a text recently.

"Hey CJ,
This is (insert name here), I asked "a woman you know" (also religious) for your number and she gave to me a couple of weeks ago. I know it has been a while since we spoke, and I hope things are going well with you. I apologize if I'm being a pain but if this makes any sense, all of a sudden out of nowhere (at mass) your fathers message came back to me extremely strong after I received communion about a month or so ago. Initially I blew it off thinking to myself that I already spoke to you and did my part. I don't want to bother you or push anything on you. I just can't figure out why the thoughts of your fathers words won't leave me alone. I don't know how to explain it but the words of your father continue to come back to me. And I've only blew it off now for about a month if not longer. Ever since that happened at least once a week (while I have been praying or at church), I have been getting the message "Will
you talk to him?"
I keep asking why and then all of these thoughts start coming to me. They won't seem to get go away, so that's why I'm sending you this message. If you are interested in talking, I would be to happy to share with you what has been put on my heart, about you and your father. I have never had something like this ever happen to me before. So I feel just as odd about this as you may. If you're not interested in having a beer and just talking about things I'm perfectly ok with it. I just had to ask, and I pray that God will continue to bless you. Have a great day CJ!"

Needless to say, it took a considerable amount of time to come up with a response. What would your response have been?
