Hello, Barbara,

Another excellent chapter. Seth and Emma make a great couple. I like the way Seth put Peggy in her place. The groups sound like a lot of fun. Well done!

Peggy seems to be relentless in her pursuit of Seth, although Seth shakes her off masterfully and manages, with Emma's help to do so. And Seth is becoming more involved in Emma's life helping her with classes, a knowledgeable Jack of all trades, beautifully written Barbara, blessings Roy

Peggy doesn't realize that she is pushing Emma and Seth closer together. The harder she tries, the more she makes herself unappealing.
Seith and Emma seem to have a lot of fun supporting each other in the activities at the church. It's nice that the barriers are coming down just a little bit for this couple.

This was a very good chapter, Barbara. I enjoyed the wholesomeness of this group of kids and their group leaders. Watch just about any show today, and kids this age are into all kinds of things they shouldn't be into, that it's nice for a change to see kids acting this way. They've got some great role models in Emma and Seth.

No questions ask. - The second one was correct, but this should be "asked."

I have solution. - Should be "a solution."

A fine post in terms of content, an enjoyable progression, and I am glad Emma was understanding re Seth being with Peggy, and not getting upset as she might have done, just a little while ago. A few suggestions, as below.

Peggy isn't going to give up you know. I think you might want to introduce someone who will chase Peggy.
A big strong guy who is not intimidated by her aggressiveness. Like a coach, or a real estate agent.
She really needs someone to see her good qualities that are hiding behind all that loneliness.

Hi Barbara,
I really connected with this chapter. I guess it's because I teach teenagers. I loved the interactions between Seth and the kids. I liked the lists of things to do and fundraisers.

I liked the interactions between Seth and Emma, too.

Glad he brushed off Peggy the way he did!

Great job,
Rhonda

This is an interesting chapter. Will Peggy ever get it through her head that Seth isn't interested in her? I hate to think what potential trouble she might cause. I appreciate Emma's desire to help the teens. Given that she hasn't had much life experience yet and has been rather sheltered, I wonder how much help she could provide. As for Seth, he has a good point that giving the group his phone number would make him appear more accessible to the teen group. However, I wonder if it's a good idea for him to do that. What they call about might not be police business. Just the thoughts I had. A person with no professional qualifications could get in too deep trying to help someone else. Great chapter. It just brought up some questions. I remember hearing "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" when it was really popular. I think it was Mahalia Jackson who sang the popular version. judi

    Thank you for the kind review. Remember Emma has two degrees. One of them is social working.

This a good chapter. Peggy is an interesting character that just one give up on Seth even when he insults her and let her know he wants nothing to do with her. This is the first one of your storries where the character so very involved in church. It seems that Emma is good leader for a group of teenagers and she takes on a lot of responsibility.

This was a lovely read. I love the witness and testimony within the story as well. I pray God uses your writing to help others to know Him as well.
Just one tiny area to look at. "I have (a) or (the)solution.
