Chapter 5

It was Randal's mouth talking, but who was saying the words?

“Bob, it's just going so well. Doug is so open to the truth that homosexuality is an abomination to the Lord. I really think there will be a major breakthrough tomorrow.”

No, no, that isn't what I was going to say. The major breakthrough tomorrow won't be a spiritual one. It will be a physical one. What's going on here?

“Well, praise the Lord. I knew you were the one for this ministry. Ralph had his doubts, but I told him you were strong in the Lord and Randal could handle it,” Bob chuckled. “Randalcould handle. Get it?" He chuckled again at his attempt at poetry.

Randal winced but passed it off with a forced smile. Again he mentally made an about face. Nothing had happened other than a hug of friendship at the end of that last meeting. He'd handled it. He had been strong. He could do this. What he was feeling was just from lack of experience. He wasn't gay any longer. Just…confused?
