Change of plans today

So today started out like any other day. I had laundry and housework to do, but around 10 am I got a knock at my door, and before I knew it, I had a Kirby sales man in my living room. My day took a rapid turn. For the next hour+ I listened and watched as he demoed the machine.  The amazing thing can pick up a lot of junk even from a brand new carpet! But that's beside the point. I couldn't afford it's $3900 price tag, or the $2000 one with today's special discount. Well an extra special deal just for me would actually let me have it at $1200 and finally, just the machine without any warranties at $750, but even that I turned down. The young man demoing it finally finished and called his boss to pick him up, but was told it would be a minute. That minute stretched out to over an hour and a half. During which time I learned that the kid sales man (18) who shares my son's name and birthday is a self proclaimed atheist. A hurting young man whose dad left his 14 year old mom when he was just a baby. He's already spent time in jail as well as living in his car. Pray for John. He's been turned off by the only Christians he ever knew, but deep inside I think he still doubts his conclusion that there's no God.
