Last night (Sunday) I'm at the bar after spending the weekend at my Best friends house. I was only going to play a few practice game's and go home. My friend Jonathon shows up , wants to play pool so I stay. I win and this guy challenges the table and wants to play for money. I say no, I only play for fun. So it's on, I'm not doing well and it looks like I'm going to lose. Then I get an opportunity and run the table, then bank the eight. His girlfriend tells him you just got schooled. There is a couple at the bar watching, the girl says something, I say I get lucky sometimes. My friend says don't believe her, she is a shark. I introduce myself, and we talk about girl stuff. All this is normal for me like no big deal. She then looks me like in the eye and says ,we are Jehovah's Witness . I don't even bat an eye. This I guess surprised her. I told her why should that matter we are just people having a conversation. They both agreed.
At the other end of the bar are some of my friends. I move down and sit next to Denise, her boyfriend is sitting on the other side of her. She has some incredible tragedy in her life right now. Her son in law was just murdered, and the funeral was Saturday. It was a five hour drive and I had to work so I couldn't attend. Her Best friend , who is also a friend of mine, attended a funeral the same day for her grandmother so couldn't attend eather. I told her again if there was anything I could do to help please don't hesitate to ask. The point of this part of the story, she knew nothing of the discussion i had before with the couple. We got into a brief discussion on the belief in God. I don't talk about politics or religion, but I made an exception for my friend. I would like to thank God for waterproof mascara, as I had tears running down my face.
