I was so touched by this post. I owned and operated a bar and grill for over 22 years. I renewed my relationship with Christ about six years after I purchased it. I was certain that God didn't want me in the business and tried to buy a bed and breakfast. It wasn't in God's plan. He used me and my husband at Johnny's Bar & Grill in Hollister, California, in amazing ways. It gave me my memoir, Born Again in a Biker Bar. I'm thrilled to be out of the business in God's timing. I was approached by people with cancer who asked me to pray for them, folks struggling in their marriages and their lives in general. They asked for my husband's phone number after he got sober because they knew they needed to quit drinking. When you wrote that the bartender pulled up a stool and said what she did, I started to cry. I hope I affected many people that way. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. God bless you for what you do and who you are. 🙏❤️

This brought tears to my eyes, Devon. Beautifully written and powerful. The words of the bartender and her caring heart ministered to me, too. Thank you, dear Devon. Much love and respect for you.
