In Christ’s Love,

Your friend, Justin

Mulrooney folded up the letter and placed it on the table.

“That explains why he was acting so strangely Friday night. He’s become one of those born-again Christians!” This was said in a harsh, condescending tone.

Funny thing was, Brian had no idea what being a born-again Christian meant; only that they were overzealous fanatics who talked nonstop about Jesus. A few of them even worked at his hotel. He remembered Susan Marlucci reading one of them the riot act last month for witnessing to a guest in the hotel lobby. The maintenance man was written up for the incident and nearly fired.

“No, he hasn’t, has he?” asked Renate.

“Yep. Just when you think you know someone.” Why is all this strange stuff happening? Mulrooney kept it to himself.

“Can I read the letter?”

“Go right ahead,” Brian replied solemnly.

As Renate McCallister read on, her facial expressions told the story. After only one paragraph, she stopped reading and put it back on the table. “What a shame. He was such a nice guy. Did he mention any of this to you on Friday night?”

“Not a word.”

“I guess you never really do know some people,” Renate said.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. He’s no longer with us.”

At that, Brian went back to the living room and turned on the television. Waiting for the picture to come in, his mind raced. Now this? After everything that’s already happened, my departed friend claims to know the only way to Heaven? If so, why was his life suddenly snuffed out at such a young age?

Life was just too strange. Where are you, Justin?

Mulrooney had no answer to this all-important question. All he knew was Justin’s letter had really stirred something deep inside him. It was full of hope, something Brian felt completely out of.

Yet, despite that his whole world had just been turned upside down, Brian felt this hungering, this yearning, this tugging at his heartstrings. It was beyond ironic.

Is God trying to get my attention?

Mulrooney did not know. All he knew was whatever was stirring inside, faint as it was, it was comforting.
