I
was going to breeze pass them when he looked up and caught me. He
held out a bible and with a big smile he told me that Jesus loved me.
Now what you don't understand is that I lost all control of my life
that night and it had nothing to do with the Bible. The Bible didn’t
dawn on my radar at first. It was him. The moment I looked at him I
knew I had to have him.
He
had the stature of baseball player with the heart of a do-gooder teacher, which
is a bias description now because now I know that he's a teacher.
I
shook his hand. “Hello, I'm Honey. It's a pleasure to meet you.”
“You
too,” he said quickly and tried to pass a bible onto the next
pedestrian.
“And
what was your name?”
The
lady he was handing a bible to asked him what church he was with. He
left my question hanging in the air and tended to her. I stood there
for a moment, dumbfounded. This, albeit attractive, bible pusher had
just tossed me on the backburner. He was downright ignoring me. I was
outraged. The woman with him, who couldn't be less than fifty, tried
to speak cordially with me. I smiled at her and walked on by. I
climbed in my car and William drove me away.
