  15. Making Sense of it all Well, no, my mentors at Brick World Wide told me I needed spiritual guidance, so they said find a church to go to. So I was looking. I started going to different churches in my neighborhood, because I had people within my organization that I had sponsored and they were church going and one particular individual, Andrew, he went to a church, and I said, you know what, I want to take a look at your church, because there’s something that I’m missing. So I went to his church, then a week later, I bumped into Theresa on the bus. I just happened to be in a random place, I just happened to be on a bus and here she comes. And (since high school) I’d been looking forward to seeing her for like the last ten years, I just didn’t know how or when it was going to happen, but deep in my heart I knew it was going to happen. And so we bumped into each other on the bus, we started a conversation, we started a friendship, and things started to progress after that. The first thing she always used to tell me is, she would always invite me to church, and this time I took her up on the invitation. Finally, after ten years, I took her up on the invitation.
