The leadership of the school became aware of the relationship and were very worried about poor Ms. Van Veen. They didn't know about this guy, John LaDue, and his real intentions! So warnings were given to be careful; then the clincher, one evening while in the kitchen John reached over and gave Ms. Van Veen a little "smootch", and of course, from the other house, they were seen, and the next morning you would think the unpardonable sin had been committed!! Even though they both had been married before, and were now over thirty-one years old, they had broken the rules and had to be exposed. Not Ms. Van Veen, only John was called in "on the carpet" and it got a little rough, and John said, "I'm out of here". You are all a bunch of legalistic, right-wing, intolerant (and any other name you can think of) people. John left the premises and walked around the block complaining to God, and any one else that would listen, but of course the heavens were silent while the rantings were going on. Then in quiet the words came, "get your butt back there and repent". Now some would say, our precious Lord and Savior wouldn't use such terms, and maybe they are right; one day John hopes to consult the most gracious consultant about such things. Well, with a little bit of argument, back he went and said, "I did break the rules, and even though I have been married and so has Jean, (now with two beautiful children,) I was wrong." Forgiveness was asked, accepted, and off to MacDonalds they went for lunch.

More soon, God willing
