When I was drinking a few years back I got a knock on my door one day. It was two Jehovah witnesses. Normally you just say no thank you and shut the door.. But in the state I was in that particular day I let them talk. I didnt agree with what they were saying necessarily, and they knew it. I remember it being a bad day for me, of which I had many. Well one of the guys could tell I was hurting. So they went through their talk, handed me some literature and left. The next day one of them came back. He didnt come back to sell me on anything or preach to me. He came to check on me. And continued to once or twice a week for the following months to come. We would sit, talk, respectfully disagree with one another. His name is Vernon, and he became a friend. Now if I closed that door based on what these men represented, I never would have got to know Vernon as a man. And a good man at that. People are different. People believe in different things. What one person loves, another man will dislike. What one man finds funny, another man will be offended. What one man believes, another will oppose. So I say to each their own. Our biggest obstacle is what we see in the mirror every day....--Anonymous
