I also

had a relative of a friend stop by and say hey to me the other day at the the library.

He saw my bible, 

not the Mendenhall one, 

I didn't take it that day, 

but my copy of the NIV that I had, that is worn out with all the highlighting :-).

"A bible?" 

He asked?

Seeming surprised.

"Yeah, you should see this other one I got at the highway sixty yard sale."

I went on to tell him about it.

"I just would have never thought that would be something you're into."

1 Samuel 16:10-12

"Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The Lord has not chosen these.” So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?”

“There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.”

Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”

So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features.

Then the Lord said, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”

I promise you it's exactly what popped in my mind when he said that.

What am I supposed to do?

Not tell you the truth?

It's always, always, always, the most unlikely of people.

You would think people would catch on by now.

But they don't.

They just can't.

Just glad I get it.

Makes it easier to deal with :-).

Love you Lucy.
