A Lesson of a Homeless Man
~*****~
It was a cold winter's day that Sunday.  The church parking lot was filling up quickly.
I noticed as I got out of my car, fellow church members whispering among themselves
as they walked in the church.  As I got closer I saw a man leaned up against the wall
outside the church.  He was almost laying down as if he was asleep.  He had on a long
trench coat that was almost in shreds and a hat topped his head, pulled down so you
could not see his face. He wore shoes that looked 30 years old.  Too small for his feet,
with holes all over them and his toes stuck out.  I assumed this man was homeless and
asleep, so I walked on by through the doors of the church.  We all fellowshipped for a
few minutes and someone brought up the man laying outside.  People snickered and
gossiped but no one bothered to ask him to come in, including me.  A few moments
later church began.  We all waited for the Preacher to take his place and give us the
Word.  Then the doors to the church opened and the homeless man came walking down
the aisle with his head down.  People gasped and whispered and made faces.  He made
his way down the aisle and up onto the pulpit when he took off his hat and coat.
My heart sank, there stood our Preacher, he was the "homeless man."  No one said
a word.  The Preacher took his Bible and laid it on his stand.  "Folks, I don't think I
have to tell you what I am preaching about today."
