Our waiter introduced himself as Angel. \u201cIt\u2019s not every day that we have an angel for a waiter, I said\u201d. He smiled and asked, \u201cIs this your family?\u201d \u201cPart of it, I said.\u201d He said, \u201cWow. I haven\u2019t been able to see my family for years. They are all in Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, I looked into Angel\u2019s eyes. God was touching his heart and it was a beautiful thing to witness. God tapped me on the shoulder, \u201cAre you going to hug him, Jack?\u201d I stood up and threw my arms around him and he returned the hug. It was a Holy Moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too often, I think that being on guard, standing firm in my faith, being courageous and strong mean having to do something difficult or complicated. Not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The abbreviation KISS means \u201cKeep It Simple Son\u201d.
