Excerpt
“You should have a moustache,” the check out clerk said as she grabbed a can of soup from the conveyor belt.
“Excuse me?” I answered, a surprised look on my face as I dug through my cart to place another item on the counter.
“A moustache,” she said. “You really should have one.”
I should have been more surprised at this outward display of opinion, but instead I just nodded and smiled. People recognized my voice often. I was, after all, THE Jared Jones, radio personality extraordinaire.
It was always interesting to me that people would tell me how I should look.
“I thought you’d be taller…thinner…older…more handsome.”
When it came right down to it, my voice could stand out among the masses, but when I was in public and remained silent, I could blend in with any crowd. There was nothing extraordinary about how I looked. I was of average height…average weight and I had average brown hair swept over to the side in an easy haircut that was manageable when I rose at 4 in the morning to start my day.
I was friend to the city, but still somehow lonely. I know that sounds strange because I talked to thousands of people every day, but in reality, I was just sitting in a room all alone, pushing buttons and putting on a show. It sounded as if I was having a good time. But once I was off the air for the day, I would go home to my small ranch house and quietly spend the day alone.
My life simply was what it was and I was doing my best fumbling my way through it. However, I feel much better today that I did several years ago. I owe those feelings to an experience I had with a man who asked me to call him Evan.

wonderful story
This story was amazing, heart wrenching and heartwarming at the same time....although it may be hard to believe God can visit us in our kitchen, this book showed how eager He is to be in our daily lives. Great book!
