Riding in the car, Stevie glanced at her daughter and said, “The camp director told me you were talking with a carload of boys when he found you. Who were they?" "Just some guys from the village, but they weren't perverts." "How can you possibly know that?" Stevie demanded. "I just know, Mom. That's the problem. You don't think I know anything." Shawna breathed an expletive, then added, "That's how I feel about always being treated like a baby. I'll bet Dougie felt the same way. No wonder he did what he did."
Slashed by Shawna's words, Stevie could not have said more if she had wanted to. She gripped the steering wheel and focused on the road ahead, hoping Shawna would not choose that particular moment to look at her, because her lip was trembling and her eyes were filling with tears.
Some Christians at my college challenged me to prove that the Bible was not accurate. As a skeptic, I spent 2 years trying to do this, and concluded that the Bible that we have today describes accurately what was said and done 2000 years ago. When I then read the Bible, I saw that God wanted a personal relationship with me. I want you to see that God also wants a personal relationship with you, one that you can depend upon in your life.
