Warren turned and watched Katie drive out of sight. She hadn’t changed an iota over the years. Blonde hair still worn in a chin length cut, hazel eyes, taller than most women. She was easily still the prettiest girl in Little Bush, and still determined to save the world. Katie had been the champion of the underdog since kindergarten. He’d admired her for her faith in people back then, but years spent trying to survive in the real world had taught him that very few cared about anything except advancing their own agenda. Apparently Katie Addison hadn’t learned that yet. In his opinion, bad choices run in families. Katie’s mom and fraternal grandmother had been involved with abusive men—Katie’s mom had died at the hands of one, and Katie was determined to keep her private women’s shelter open when obviously money was tight.
What did it take to shake her faith? A Wyoming tsunami?
Warren glanced at the disappearing jeep. If it was possible, he’d get those horses for Katie. Not because he had any interest in her personally—he’d had his fill of females, especially independent females, which described Katie Addison to a tee.
But horses were a different story. For horses, he would compromise his convictions to stay far, far away from females. All females.
Monday Morning Faith
Lori Copeland
Dear Mom and Pop,
Two days ago we all spent the afternoon in palm trees. One of the village dogs broke his leash and treed the whole community. The dog is mean, but I have managed to form a cautious relationship with him by feeding him scraps from our table, and jelly beans…I hope candy doesn’t hurt a dog; it hasn’t hurt this dog, I can assure you.
I know you’re wondering about Sam…I love him with all my heart, but sometimes love isn’t enough.
Love always,
Johanna
Librarian Johanna Holland likes her simple life in Saginaw, Michigan. So why is she standing in the middle of the New Guinea Jungle? Johanna is simply aghast at the lack of hot showers and…well…clothing! She is positive the mission field is most certainly not God’s plan for her life, but will that mean letting go of the man she loves? Warm and whimsical, Monday Morning Faith will take you on a spiritual journey filled with depth and humor.
