The story of Billy by -Marizelle- 2012/11/14 18:53
This is a true story and is not copy paste.
His name is Billy. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, denims and no shoes. This was literally his wardrobe for the entire four years of college. He is brilliant and very smart. He became a believer while he was in college. In the street opposite the college campus was the church building a very neat and very conservative church. They wanted to start a ministry for college students, but did not really know where to start. Billy arrived at the church on Sunday morning - dressed in his ordinary T-shirt, jeans, unshaven, his hair wild and barefoot. The service has already started and Billy in the aisle looking for a seat to sit, but the church was crowded and there was not a single seat available. Members of the congregation and others moved around him uneasy uncomfortable among themselves whispering. In front the pulpit Billie realizes that there is no seat available, and he make himself at home on the mat. By the time the congregation was already very up about the situation and the atmosphere is so thick that you almost could cut it with a knife. Precisely when the minister noticed that one of his former fullback elders in the church on the way to Billy. The old man was in his eighties, with silver gray hair and, as always, neatly dressed in his black three-piece suit. Everyone knew him as a dignified, man that fears God, with his stick he stately and courteous he made his way to the pulpit and the young man. The church was silent except for the ticking of the elder’s cane. All eyes were fixed on the old man and the congregation was barely breathing, because they knew the old man make no exception when it comes to right and wrong. Even the minister stressed and quietly waited to see what would happen. When the old man finally reached the young man, he dropped his stick, and slowly and with great difficulty sank on the mat next to, Billy. with a nod greeted him and slightly breathless whisper: "Now you at least not sits alone." The emotions gets high and some wiped away a tear here and there. When the minister finally get control of his own emotions, he looked up and said: "What I'm about to preach, you may have forgotten tomorrow. 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."
