Hanging with Mohammed

When I’m in the neighborhood, I try to make it a point to swing by and pay a visit to my friend Moahammed, the Imam at the North Penn Mosque, which happens about every other week. I learn a lot from Mohammed and Mohammed tells me that he learns a lot from me as well.

Last week I stopped by to say hello. We chatted for a bit. He told me about his family. He told me about some of the reasons behind some dietary restrictions for Muslims, as well as information about his home country of Bangladesh. He also asked me how I was doing and how Renew was going. Then he said, “When is your next service? I’ve never been to a church before. Do you think it would be alright if I visited and brought about six people from the mosque with me to your next service?”

Um. Yeah.

I shouldn’t be surprised about this. I have been praying for him.
