"Tim Lahaye - Left Behind Kids 11 - Into The Storm" - читать интересную книгу автора (LaHaye Tim)mother had been kneeling in prayer. Lionel still wondered if she had been praying for him at the moment
she vanished. He felt so guilty for being left behind. He had known the truth but had not acted on it. But today was different. Unlike his family, the body of Pastor Bruce Barnes would be there. He could see it. Touch it. Lionel thought back to his first meeting with Bruce. He had felt so alone that day. The man let them watch a video that explained what had happened. Then Bruce told his own story. God had LionelтАЩs attention. He finally understood that being a Christian wasnтАЩt following a set of rules or doing certain things. It had to do with his heart. And his heart ached. It was hard to lose every member of his family. He had taken them for granted, his mom and dad especially. But losing Bruce was different. When Bruce spoke of spiritual things, Lionel really listened. Now Bruce was gone. Lionel wondered if he would ever have another teacher like him. Vicki and Chaya stayed at LorettaтАЩs house overnight. The next morning they kept to themselves as the adults got ready for the morning service. тАЬI need a favor,тАЭ Chaya said. тАЬMy motherтАЩs funeral is this afternoon as well. You know my dad doesnтАЩt want me there, but I have to go.тАЭ Vicki placed her hand on ChayaтАЩs shoulder. тАЬYou donтАЩt have to say anything more,тАЭ Vicki said. тАЬIтАЩll go with you.тАЭ Two hours before Bruce BarnesтАЩs service began, the Young Trib Force met atNew HopeVillageChurch . Judd prayed, тАЬGive us wisdom and help us do whatтАЩs right.тАЭ Judd welcomed John and Mark. The two cousins quickly updated the group. John was off to college in a few days. Mark had rebounded from his scrape with death in the militia. тАЬIтАЩm not going back to school,тАЭ he said. тАЬIтАЩd like to help you guys any way I can.тАЭ тАЬWe can use it,тАЭ Judd said. He looked at the kids gravely. тАЬThis is not how Bruce planned it,тАЭ he said. тАЬIтАЩm sure he wanted to live until the Glorious Appearing of Christ. But that wonтАЩt happen now. Nobody elected me leader, so IтАЩm open to a voteтАЭ тАЬWe donтАЩt need that,тАЭ Lionel interrupted. тАЬYou go ahead.тАЭ The others agreed. |
