His name is Bill. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes >>in it, jeans, and no shoes. This was literally his wardrobe for his entire >>four years of college. >> >> He is brilliant. Kind of profound and very, very bright. He >>became a Christian while attending college. >> >> Across the street from the campus is a well-dressed, very >>conservative church. They want to develop a ministry to the students but >>are not sure how to go about it. >> >> One day Bill decides to go there. He walks in with no shoes, >>jeans, his T-shirt, and wild hair. The service has already started and so >>Bill starts down the aisle looking for a seat. >> >> The church is completely packed and he can't find a seat. By >>now, people are really looking a bit uncomfortable, but no one says >>anything. >> >> Bill gets closer and closer and closer to the pulpit, and >> when he realizes there are no seats, he just squats down right on the carpet. >> >> By now the people are really uptight, and the tension in the >> air is thick. >> >> About this time, the minister realizes that from way at the >> back of the church, a deacon is slowly making his way toward Bill. >> >> Now the deacon is in his eighties, has silver-gray hair, and >> a three-piece suit. A godly man, very elegant, very dignified, very courtly. >>He walks with a cane and, as he starts walking toward this boy, everyone >>is saying to themselves that you can't blame him for what he's going to do. >> >> How can you expect a man of his age and of his background to >>understand some college kid on the floor? >> >> It takes a long time for the man to reach the boy. >> >> The church is utterly silent except for the clicking of the >>man's cane. All eyes are focused on him. You can't even hear anyone >>breathing. The minister can't even preach the sermon until the deacon does >>what he has to do. >> >> And now they see this elderly man drop his cane on the floor. >>With great difficulty, he lowers himself and sits down next to Bill and >>worships with him so he won't be alone. >> >> Everyone chokes up with emotion. >> When the minister gains control, he says, >> >> >> "What I'm about to preach, you will never remember. What you >>have just seen, you will never forget." >> >> "Be careful how you live. >> You may be the only Bible some people will ever read!" >> >> I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for you today. >> To guide you and protect you as you go along your way. >> His love is always with you, >> His promises are true, >> And when we give Him all our cares, >> You know He will see us through. >> >> Only if you feel to, pass this to People you want God to >>Bless....I DID!
