Illustration: A young college student in a small town attended college across the street from a vey conservative and traditional church. Bob, was a very different kind of individual. His dress was unorthodox, his tee shirt had holes and he wore blue jeans and he always went bare foot. The conservative church wanted to get involved with the college students across the street but did not really know how. One Sunday morning Bob decided to go the Church. The service had already started when he arrived. As he entered the doors of the sanctuary he looked for a seat to sit and there was none to be found. As he walked down toward the front of the church all eyes were on him and event the pastor had stop what he was saying as he view the young man as he looked for a seat among the congregation. He had come to the very front row of the pews at the front of the church and found nowhere to sit. So he just sat down in the aisle at the end of very front row. Then an senior member of the congregation a stood up and began to make his way to the front of the church where Bob was sitting. This deacon was very well dressed in a three piece suite with a vest and even a gold pocket watch. As he made his way to where Bob was setting every eye including the pastor was watching to see what the deacon was going to do. When the deacon arrived where Bob was sitting he laid his cane down and very carefully reached for the pew and then he sat down beside the young college student.
