The garden was a symphony of color, the roses in full bloom. David knelt, meticulously weeding around his prize-winning dahlias. He'd been dreaming of this afternoon, when his brother, Mark, would finally announce the launch of his new business venture. It was an event David had been eagerly anticipating for months.

A car pulled up, and Mark stepped out, a nervous look on his face. David waved enthusiastically, his heart light. He stood up and brushed off his hands as Mark approached. "Hey, brother! Come on in! I've got iced tea and everything."

Mark took a deep breath. "David, there's something I need to share." David grinned, expecting a business plan presentation.

"I've found my faith in the Baháʼí Faith," Mark stated. David’s grin didn't falter, he even clapped his hands. "Wow! That's wonderful! Come on in, I want to hear all about it. Are you hungry? The chicken is ready!"
