Tom's Love Quest

Dear   [Kel],

Well, be sure and tell her that a long-term relationship is not in my sights. I just like being a good friend, and helping out emotionally when needed. . I would never ask her to see only me, or explain what she was doing while apart from me. Believe me, I’ve learned that such jealous questions and probes often produce very painful answers. So, I don’t ask them anymore. And in fact, I don’t want to know the answers at all. No, I wouldn’t fall in love with her. I’d just like to, . .., well, you know, . . . do her feet and legs, and make her feel very good and pampered.

You have indeed matured. You seem, these days, much more tolerant of other views. True, you might not change many minds very often, when expressing the Word or your own testimony. But expression often-time benefits the expresser at least as much as the target audience. I’ve found that the thought processes needed to express my views, frequently CHANGE the very views I’m expressing, either solidifying them, or making me consider alternatives.. So, as the song says, “Go tell it on the mountain.” Even if there is no one else around to hear you, you have still done some good (for yourself at least, and for God as well).

Later,
Tom Hesley
