After high school graduation, before Mr. Erwin took his summer trip to the mountains, the twins arrived at his house with their older brother. Damon had just gotten out of rehab. It was his second time there because he had started using drugs again after his first visit. The twins wanted him to meet Mr. Erwin and found him in the backyard.

“Hey Mr. Erwin,” said Kay. “We want you to meet our older brother, Damon.”

Mr. Erwin put the watering hose down and reached out and shook Damon's hand and said hello. He looked into his eyes and could tell he had been fighting a losing battle for a while.

“Do you want me to tell him about the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden?” he asked, expecting Jay and Kay to say yes.

“Actually, we already told him the story,” said Kay.

“And we told him about the Five D's,” said Jay.

“We brought him here because we wanted to thank you for teaching us, so that way we could teach him,” said Kay. “It's helping him a lot.”

“It is,” said Damon. “It's very eye opening. Now I know why I've been losing the battle. And I'm grateful I now have a plan to win. Who would have thought my younger brother and sister would have the answers I needed?”

“It's the answers we all need,” said Mr. Erwin.

“Yeah, that's also why we are here,” said Kay. “We believe everyone needs to learn what you taught us, so we decided there needed to be an eighth D.”

“What's the eighth D?” asked Mr. Erwin curiously.

“It's Disciple,” said Jay. “Once you learn about the Five D's and how to win the battle that will lead you to your Destiny then it's important that you share it with others to disciple them. Your destiny is never about yourself. Every hero knows they were made for others, to help others, and it's about taking action to do this.”

“Disciple as a verb means to teach,” said Kay. “You learn it and then you teach it to those you want to help.”

“Like me,” said Damon.

“I love that,” said Mr. Erwin. “Thank you for teaching me this. I guess it's fitting then that I got you these for your graduation.” He reached into his pocket and held up an identical coin in each hand. On one side of the coin it had the Five D's and on the other side it had the way to overcome each D. It looked like this:

“I was originally giving these to you so when you go off to college you wouldn't forget these lessons. But now I know I was supposed to give them to you so you can disciple and help others as well. I can't wait to hear about all the people you encourage and see the difference you make.”

“We're excited,” said Kay. “We know it won't be easy. The enemy doesn't want these simple truths out there so he will create a lot of doubt, distortion, and distraction and do whatever it can to stop us from sharing and reaching people. It will be a challenge for sure, but we know this is our purpose and we had to go through the battle in order to help others win it.”

“We are stronger for it,” said Jay.

“Yes you are. I'm so proud of you both,” said Mr. Erwin as he pointed to all the trees and paused with tears in his eyes. Then he grabbed a piece of fruit from the Tree of Life. “And don't forget to keep nourishing yourselves as you seek to help others. Your mind and soul is like a garden. You need to weed the negative and feed the positive each day. If you do it just one time it won't do much. But if you weed and feed the garden of your mind and soul for a week, a month, a year, seven years, and a lifetime, your garden will look magnificent and you'll produce amazing fruit.”

Mr. Erwin looked at the piece of fruit in his hand and then took a big bite out of it, smiled, and said, “And always remember, whatever you are going through keep believing the best is yet to come. God has a plan!”

The End.
