As Jo was getting dressed to go to church, she remembered the argument she and Carla had had the night before about church. Carla had called her a hypocrite for even attending a church that was against drinking. Was she a hypocrite? She didn’t think so. Wasn’t a hypocrite someone who went to church for the wrong reasons? After last week, she’d discovered that she had a genuine desire to know more about God and besides she’d never wanted to be a bar owner anyway?

The phone rang and it was Sue Ann. Jo shuddered. She’d never get ready in time now.

“Jo, did you hear about that pastor getting shot at yesterday?”

“Yes, Sue Ann, Floyd told me all about it and I’ve talked to Gil and he’s okay.”

She realized her mistake as soon as the words were out of her mouth.

“What? Gil? So you’re calling him Gil now? What’s going on here Jo Jo?”

“Nothing. But I’m trying to get ready for church if you will get off the phone and let me.”

“Wait just a minute. You’re going to church again? Didn’t you find out everything you needed to know last week?”

“Yes, I did, at least about Gil’s intentions. But now I want to go to church because I want to go to church.”

She wasn’t sure if that made any sense or not, but she just simply didn’t know how else to put it.

There was a long pause on the other end before Sue Ann said, “O . . . kay . . . I’ll be there to pick you up in thirty minutes.”

With that, she hung up without giving Jo a chance to agree or disagree. Oh well, didn’t they always say there was safety in numbers. Now, if Carla would just go too, she would feel much better.

She was stepping out of her bedroom into the living room when Carla came out of her room dressed in a nice blouse and slacks.

Before Jo could ask, Carla said, “Don’t say anything. I’ll go once and if I don’t like it I won’t go back.”

Jo didn’t know what to say. She wanted to encourage Carla but she also wanted to give her a choice in as many things as she possibly could.

“I would say that’s fair enough, if you’ll agree to go there with an open mind. Okay?”

Carla only nodded and went to the kitchen for a glass of milk.

“Oh, by the way, Sue Ann is coming by to get us and we’re riding with her to church.”

Carla made a face then but before she could say anything, Jo said, “I’m sure that Sue Ann will want to go out to eat again.”

That stopped all opposition from Carla and she even smiled. At first, Jo wasn’t sure what changed her little sister’s mind. Then it hit her. She must think that her history teacher might be there again. That had to be it. Well, if that’s the case she knew she couldn’t put off that particular talk with Carla much longer.
