Judging a book by it's cover.........

For you guys who knew me "back in the day" you know I should be the last person to draw a conclusion on someone by how they look. When Jen brought me home the first time her family was more than "a little worried". I rolled up in a primer '69 Camaro,with leather jacket,ripped jeans,some sort of custom rock and roll teeshirt(black I'm sure) and hair for days. Not a great first impression but in my eyes it was mission complete! So who should I be to judge?
My first days at the mission were a huge learning curve and I was super guilty judging a book by it's cover. Now that I've been there a little while and kind of settled into my job I have been blessed to know these folke we are trying to help. Thank God he helped me see what I was doing and how silly it was for me (of all people) to do that. What we have is a building full of really good people that have made some really bad choices.I swear we have few that boarder on on that "rocket scientist" level. One guest we have should be a author,I can't wait to read his work search reports. He makes going to the store an adventure.
I pray every day for these guys and hope that one day they reach their full potnetial and know that I'm a better person for knowing them.
