As I sat there that first time, it struck me that he obviously knew something I didn't, and at the end of his talk he shared what was different: his faith in Jesus Christ and how important it was to him. It triggered a response within me to begin exploring what (rather, Who) he was so passionate about, which I discovered for myself a short time later.
I'm glad he had the guts to share it...
Well done, good and faithful servant...

Go out and make it a great day!
