I honestly don't mean to offend anyone, but this is one of the things that really amaze me in people.

Tonight, while enjoying a cigar I thought I'd clean my car's wheels and tires.

So I'm out there finishing up and this guy walks by the end of the driveway. It's dark out and in the dark he looked llike a buddy of mine that lives around the corner.

So I walk to the end of the driveway saying "Hey Jay! Jeez! I haven't seen you in a while". Then I realize I have made a mistake. It's not Jay. But looks alot like him.

He then says hello and explains his name is Mark and he lives around the block on such-and-such street. I introduce myself commenting that we both have the same name. I notice he is wearing a US postal shirt and still has his USPO name tag on. Yep...his name is Marc.

He then goes on telling me how much he and his wife enjoy my front garden. I thank him for the compliment and comment on how well it is doing this year.

Then he pauses and says "What I really wanted to tell you is that Jesus loves you and that God loves you too and that he wants you to know that every day and that with all of the things going on in the world today that he is testing us. He wants you to know that you are important and that he loves you."

Well, out of courtesy I thanked him and acknowledged that yes, we're being tested every day while at the same time looking for something heavy to defend myself with.

All I could think of was, where can I put in "well...thanks....I gotta get going. You take care.", which I did immediately.

Now that's great if this guy is happy with Jesus. But what amazes me is the way these people just hit you with it out of the blue. Makes me REAL nervous.

Must be a born again Christian! (and that is OK)



Drives me up a wall!
