When You Know a Person's Story
It was the San Antonio Junior Livestock Auction. Dustin looked like every other kid there. As for his goat . . . well, the bids were okay.
Then someone told a story that Dustin himself had kept quiet. One month earlier, his father died in a tragic car accident. The boy spent weeks in surgery and rehab. Now he stood by the auction block: physically healed . . . emotionally healing . . . financially spent. The story spread, and wouldn't you know, Dustin’s goat sold for a record-breaking one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. Dustin was just one more kid with a goat. But when you know a person’s story, things can happen . . . in the high calling of our daily work.

because of the woman's testimony,
"He told me everything I ever did."
John 4:39
