As they ate bacon and eggs, Violet told Lee about reading the Bible the previous evening. “I have so many questions. There’s so much I’ve never heard before. Do you really believe Jesus did all those things? You know, miracles.”

“Yes, I do believe. The Bible isn’t a book of fiction. It’s all facts. If you believe one thing in it, you have to believe the whole thing. That’s the way it works.”

Violet sat stirring her coffee then finally said, “I want to believe it all. I did what you told me to do. I prayed last night. I told Jesus I want to be different. But I don’t feel all that different.”

Lee reached over and scooped her hand into his. “I’m so happy for you. Now you’re a Christian. That means you’re part of God’s family now.”

Violet cocked her head sideways and pondered the thought. “I’m glad. Just from the little I read last night, I’m sure I want to be part of His family. But, when I get out to California, I’m afraid I’ll fall right back into the type of life I was leading before I met you.”

Lee sat up straight. “Not if you don’t want to. If you keep reading the Bible and go to church, maybe find an evening Bible class, you’ll learn more and more about God’s world. After a while, you won’t want to go back to your old life.”

Violet lifted her cup and took a sip of coffee. She set the cup back down and asked, “How do you know?”

“Because it happened to me. I was a different man than the one you see sitting here. I needed a good lesson in life. Luckily, a friend of mine who is related to the owner of the Wigwam Motel, introduced me to the Bible. He suggested I come to Holbrook and work here for a while. He thought if I was away from my family and friends, I could get to know God on a more personal level. He was right.”

Violet’s jaw dropped. “You aren’t from Holbrook?”

“Nope.”

“Oh, I thought, well…”

“I know. I’m actually from California.”

Violet’s head shot up, her eyes bulged. “California? Why would you ever agree to come to a place like Holbrook?” Violet’s voice was edged with her old sarcasm, Lee sighed.

Violet waited a few seconds for his answer, reviewing her own words, then realized how she must have sounded.

“I’m sorry, Lee. That was the old me speaking. You see! How will I ever turn that person off completely?”

Lee’s face brightened. “I can tell God’s already working on you. His spirit inside you just spoke to you and told you the way you just acted wasn’t right. Don’t be surprised if it happens quite often in the beginning of your Christian walk. Just remember, when you hear His voice or sense the spirit, don’t be stubborn. It’s better to be slightly embarrassed in front of your friends then to have God become silent in your life.”

Violet sat in quiet amazement, then blurted,
