Lyle suddenly felt panicked as he saw the strange man approaching Hannah, a man who had been following the kids at a distance. Lyle quickly hung up the phone and made his way down to the main floor of the grocery store as the man reached for the young girl.

Unforgiveness destroys many. Forgiveness gives others a new chance at living. Love strengthens the soul, and courage gives heart, but most of all, obedience to God gives peace of mind and a new man is made, forever changed in the most miraculous way. Such is the new birth, the making of a man who will stand when the strong winds blow and the skies seem forever dark in hopeless despair. For a new man knows that in God's time, he always calms the wind and soothes the storm and sends light once again into the lives of his own. God is light, and those who walk in darkness need no longer. Let the light shine in. Take courage, for God gives strength to the weakest man, and hope to the utterly despaired.

It is late, the phone is ringing, and Mom and Dad are getting the one call no parent ever wants. I glance at my Snoopy alarm clock. It is one thirty in the morning. Dad's voice changes from sleepy to panicked. For a moment, I think Johnny T has beaten me at my own game. For a moment panic seizes me. For a moment, I think Johnny T has gone before me. But he is still alive. Mama and Daddy are hurrying out the door on their way to the emergency room. There has been a wreck. Johnny T was driving drunk. Beverly went through the windshield. She will probably be leaving here before me.I have always wanted to be Johnny T, but for the first time, I think he would give anything to be me. To be fourteen and dying--at this moment that place would be paradise.Our lives will never be the same again. Johnny T will be changed forever.
