 As a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a  grave-side  service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The funeral was  to be  held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the  first to be laid to rest there. As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost; and being a  typical man did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew, who was eating lunch, but the hearse was nowhere in sight.
I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the side of the open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place. I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I poured out my heart and soul. As I preached the workers began to say 'Amen,' 'Praise the Lord,' and 'Glory'! I preached, and I preached, like I'd never preached before- from Genesis all the way to Revelations. I closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car. As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another, 'I ain't never seen anything like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.'
