In a schoolyard in southern California, a dozen 5th graders stood in line to enter the classroom... it was early in the morning, and the teacher had not arrived. The kids grew restless.
One dark-haired boy named Hugh, spread his arms, looked into the sky and said: "Isn't it amazing and wonderful how God created the world and everything in it?" A blond-haired boy grew angry, pointed his finger at Hugh and said: "What, you think that some 'god' waved a magic wand and 'proof' there was the universe? HA!" Hugh looked at the boy with disbelief, and his eyes were filled with tears.
10 years later, the blond-haired young man was driving toward the south gate of a military base, somewhere in North Dakota. As he approached the dark-haired guard, he turned his radio off and rolled down the window. After the guard let him pass, the young man suddenly remembered a young boy named Hugh. He hung his head in shame and whispered words of repentance. Suddenly, an overwhelming feeling of peace and unspeakable joy entered into his heart... and he was very happy. For he had once rejected the very thought of God's existance, but now that was all beginning to fade away... to be replaced by the truth.
"So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer." 2 Corinthians 5:16
