There is a man with a scissor over there...Minding my own business
I was minding my own business, enjoying a lovely evening at a local ocean side community. Three of us had gone to support a young man in his budding profession.
I met a woman who had a "God story" by which I was uplifted because of her faith. Her story was one of struggle and survival after years of relatively easy living She told me of the friendship of strangers (local Christian church) after Hurricane Sandy. Her husband had died suddenly just a year or so before the wind and water storm. His last words were "I see two lights." Words of comfort from a dying man for a shocked and grieving wife. She has testimony to share as well as tears of joy after sorrow.
The room was small and the air warm, so my friends and I went to sit on a bench for some cool air. A gentleman offered to share some space. We sat and talked for a moment and then he got up. He was going to his car for something. As he walked away, I glanced in his direction for a moment and saw that he was engaged in conversation and walking with a tall, thin man. The scene registered in my mind that he struck up another conversation with someone from the event or he joined again with someone he knew. The picture of two men walking together seemed natural. Nothing was out of context.......
