I saw him in the parking lot before Church. In an instant I judged him. On his looks, his clothes, what he was doing.
And then I walked into Church.
Guess who sat right behind me?
I had never seen him before.
But he did remind me of the man I saw in another parking lot 2 summers ago.
When the music began I heard his beautiful voice behind me. He knew all the words: the words that I did not know.
During the prayers I heard him sigh when we prayed for those who battle addictions of all kinds.
When it was time for the sign of peace, he looked directly in my eyes, firmly shook my hand, smiled and said... PEACE BE WITH YOU.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ forgave you.
--Ephesians 4:32
(this was the reading that Sunday...)
