Then Jesus smiled and said,“I don’t condemn you, either. Now, go and sin no more.”
I swallowed back the pinch thatalwaysrose in my throat when I remembered that moment that had touched me so deeply.
I’m trying, God,I thought, blinking back the tears of relief and joy that wanted to come.I’m trying.
I smiled as I left the church bathroom and started across the parking lot, towards the parkland down the road.
And when I reached the trees and started jogging, my body thrumming in anticipation of when Sam would appear, I thanked God for my husband who was so much like Jesus.
And I prayed he’d be intoxicated by my love for the rest of his life. Because I knew I would be drunk on him forever.
THE END… or is it?
