"Hi." Terilyn said
tentatively. "We're moving today," Shawna said. “Back to L.A?" "Right.” “Terilynn,
why wouldn't you return my calls or answer your door when I came over? And you
won't even look at me at school." Terilyn shook her head. "What's the
use? You ran out on me at the party and embarrassed me in front of everyone
there. You don't come to the leadership meetings anymore. We live in two
different worlds." "Yeah, I guess we do.”
Shawna continued, “I've changed my
mind about a lot of things since the party. But I still want to talk to
you." "Why?" "Because you're my friend, Terilyn. I don't
agree with you about a lot of things, but I still care about you."
"That's an intolerant statement,
Shawna. You should know that by now." Shawna smiled. She was not
intimidated by Terilyn's subtle accusation. "Like I explained in one of my
letters, I've renewed my commitment to Christ since we last talked. I've chosen
to live my life by the principles in God's Word. The Bible doesn't tell us to
be tolerant; it tells us to be loving. Part of loving others is warning them
about things that God says are wrong."
