A tragedy: "Once upon a time, in REAL LIFE, today while I was at the laundry-mat..."
So today I went to the laundry-mat. After I had been there for a while, a homeless couple came in. They were dirty, and loud, and angry, did not seem to be wholly in their right mind, yelling at each other in language I am not sure a drunken sailor would understand. The laundry-mat was pretty full, and all of us got quiet, and focused on our own laundry and moved as far from them as we could. I sat praying. After they had been there for a little while, a man came in. One look at the grin on his face, and one glance in his eyes and you could see he knew and loved Jesus. He walked up to the homeless man and hugged him saying, "Hi, Jake. My friend! I have missed you. Hi Sally. How about if I go get our dinner?" The man (the couple called him Carlos) left for a bit and came back with pizza and ate dinner with them, chatting and talking and laughing with them while they all ate. While he was there the couple was peaceful and quiet and calm and pleasant. Not long after Carl
