DID YOU ASK?

There is an old story about how the University of Chicago received a million-dollar grant from the heiress of a major department store. She had been a student at Northwest. So, administrators of Northwest went to visit her and asked why she had not made such a gift to her alma mater. Her answer was simple, "The people at the University of Chicago asked. You did not."

How many times do we fail to ask people a simple question like, "Will you go to church with me?" or "Have you considered becoming a Christian?"
