Living what we profess.........

Some emails are so worthy of passing on and I think this one of those..........

>> 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 te nsion 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.
>> Th e 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,
>& gt; You know He will see us through.

>> God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
>>
>> You shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You
>> need to be able to throw something back.
