Facebook post: "Okay this may sound weird but is there anyone in the Greater Atlanta Area who wants to ride with me to Augusta and back tonight? I kind of need someone who I like to help keep me awake."

id say you had a great time

It was definitely an adventure

Dude I don't even know know and I actually had a great time reading that. Sounds like an amazing adventure...
I greatly liked the part where you talked to that guy about God. Like I said I don't know you and I don't know if your a Christian or whatever but you earned some respect in my book.
Thanks for sharing

I'm a professional Christian

Well I don't know what the professional part means =P But I am a Christian as well, or as I prefer, a Christ follower (just meaning a more in depth relationship).
I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring your post fully off topic But truly, much respect to you.
