“So tell me everything,” Michelle said, when she arrived at Sheila’s house that afternoon.

“About what?” her mother asked.

“You know about what. I want to hear about your lunch with Dr. Chambers,” Michelle replied, her curiosity demanding answers.

“Rick and I had a nice lunch at the Cliffhanger.”

“The Cliffhanger? Wow, Mom, that’s pretty ritzy for lunch.” Noticing her mother’s blush, she asked, “So what did you and ‘Rick’ talk about?”

“We talked about my move here, your father, things like that.”

“Did he say anything about church?” Michelle was dying to know what her former professor thought about the message. It really surprised her that he still thought about the letter she gave him on the last day of class—a letter that shared her faith and challenged him to reconsider his obvious anti-Christian bias by inviting him to their new church. When he hadn’t responded to her invitation at that time, she thought he’d probably just tossed her letter in the trash.

“He said he was pleasantly surprised,” Sheila replied. “He liked Ben’s teaching, and he wants to come back next week.”

“Really?” Michelle studied her mother for a moment.

“What?”

“Nothing. I’m just wondering if he’s coming back for the teaching or for something else,” she said with raised eyebrows.

Sheila’s face turned red. “Well, I certainly hope it’s for the teaching. There’s no way I’m getting involved with a man who is unsure of his faith. I went through that for too many years with your father.” She picked up a box of table linens and handed them to Michelle. “These can go in the drawers of the hutch.”

Michelle took the box from her and rested it on her hip. “I’m glad to hear that, Mom. Dr. Chambers can be pretty critical of Christians.”

“I know. I remember what you went through in his class. But at least he’s coming to church,” she said with a smile. “No one’s beyond God’s reach. I’ve learned that much.”

Michelle nodded, her mind immediately picturing her father and the radical transformation in his life after his unsuccessful suicide attempt. Although he’d remained physically marred for the remaining years of his life, he’d grown immensely stronger in faith. “You’re right. I’m glad he’s coming back,” she said. Glancing down at the box, she added, “I’ll put these away, and then we can start working on the bathroom.”
