Even as an old man, seeing those words of Amazing Grace and its comforting melody starts playing over and over like a stuck record in my head. Always my favorite song since childhood, it still gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling when I hear or see its words. Thanks for another fine chapter.

Beth seem to be the perfect helpmate for Ben. I'm glad you let the preacher with a calling have a woman in his life. I hope all that time on the road and worrying about Ben's close calls don't turn out to be too much for her.

This was a really good chapter, Wayne, which deserved 6 stars, but I didn't have any left. One of the drawbacks of posting on a Saturday. I guess I'm a romantic at heart, because I love a bit of romance in a story, and this chapter certainly filled the bill.

Ben and Beth have really found their ideal mate it seems, and although they haven't known each other long, I have a feeling this marriage and romance will last.

Their dialogue together was very natural sounding. Well done. - Jim

Thank you.
Based loosely on my wife and I.
Posting every 3 days (in order to get thru 200K words) dictates the days, unfortunately.

Those are wonderful lyrics and reflect Ben's journey so beautifully. You seamlessly brought the couple from their private musings to the heart of the congregation with that inspiring hymn ( it would have been great in a video too, not that your chapter, in any way, needed that reinforcement:) Your subtle and tender capturing of this couple's love contrasts effectively with all the troubles Ben has previously had to navigate. Beth's additional interest in Ben's ministry and calling perfectly concludes this 'feel good' chapter. Thanks for sharing, Wayne. Debbie

I like the way you move old Ben around, and God has given him the perfect helpmeet in Beth, and Ben listens and hears from God, as all of us should, and keep asking God, never assuming you are where you're to be where you are supposed to be where you are, beautifully written Wayne, blessings Roy
