Change

Ron tells us about college, the army, Deborah and the changes he makes in his life becoming an adult. I don’t know about you but just from what I read so far about her, I like Deborah. I like the way she tells Ron how it is (like the time with the Rolls Royce). Ron tells us how they were just average Sunday church goers until they met some people at a discussion group and learned that they were wrong. How often do you think people miss the point of church and think that all you need to do is be “good” and sit in the pews on Sunday? Sadly it is very common. I know because growing up I used to be one of them. Do you think there is some prejudice in Ron and Deborah when they first meet the people of the discussion group who question them being saved?

Ron is very open with us and tells us about what was going on with Deborah and his marriage. I pray that more couples can do what Ron and Deborah did after his fling with the artist and keep moving on. But I know no one is perfect and not everyone can do what they did and sometimes it’s for the better, I just admire it. Deborah amazed me at the grace she had dealing with that girl, (after she threw stuff at Ron which every practical wife would do). Not only did Deborah release the girl with forgiveness but she also released herself. When you forgive someone you are not only lifting a burden of someone else’s but you are setting yourself free too. We see lots of changes in all the characters throughout the book. We all have to make changes and adapt to life to keep moving forward and grow in our relationship with Christ.
