When Lowell G.Evans, author of "The Village" had to ride the city bus, he was frustrated! He was saying to himslef, "Man, I can't even afford to get my car fixed! Why me."?
As Lowell got on the bus he sat down with "everything" he needed to carry that day! It was embarrassing to say the least because it looked as though this man was "struggling"! The fact of the matter he was. But it was not for long.
Two Caucasian Ladies were sitting across the aisle from him and with the fact of them being strangers, he did not speak. It was the "first time" he had ever rode the bus and felt as though he was not going to make it in life. It was then when one of the ladies asked him in a very sweet way, "Good evening sir. What does your t-shirt mean,"? He was wearing his "Village T-shirt." As he explained the story of "The Village and Kevin Bolden" to them, they got excited.
Ms Diane said to her friend Ms Kathy, "We need to introduce Lowell to our girlfriend, don't you think?" Ms Kathy quickly responed, "We sure do." Lowell responded even quicker saying, "Thank you ladies but I am not interested in dating anyone at this time." Both of the ladies began to laugh and Ms Diane said, "Oh no. Our girlfriend is a producer at Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). We want to share your story with her and try to have you on the TV." About three weeks later, Lowell G.Evans was on TV for the first time talking about his novel, "The Village"!
And to think, "Lowell did not want to ride the bus." The two ladies in the picture with Lowell are Ms Diane to the left and Ms Kathy to his right! They all have become great friends!
