Gas Man and New Blogs

Remember my gas station guy, Tariq? Well, I spent some unexpected time with him last week. I ran in for a quick coffee and gatorade and he gets started. Man, everytime we talk - I sweat so much I need to go back home and take a shower. He initiated a conversation with me dealing with humanity's motivations for benevolence. He wants to do good for the sake of future generations. I asked him why he cared about future generations, and he went into this deep explanation of the head and heart, and his mother. He's really into what he believes...although, I think he has made up most of what he believes...so I guess he's really into himself in a way...anyways, in a/b an hour of conversation, we got as far as willingness to communicate and caring "without expectations" is a definite common ground for us. (Though I believe he either thinks me slightly foolish, or he is just good @ making me feel slightly foolish. - some people have a real talent in leading conversation in a way that makes one feel slightly foolish - I won't name names, I'll just say that one guy like this "is my pick-a-da-week"...and another has scary eyes and spent 30 years in law enforcement.)

Well, Tariq and I are still compadres, but man this guy wears me out...all he wants to do is have challenging conversation...no small talk @ the Tigermart...so be praying that I let God do His work (and that my Old Spice deoderant works).
