No, Belle needed him. He had to save her from a disastrous marriage. And then, he supposed, he'd simply marry her himself. John wasn't unaware that he was about to pull one of the greatest about-faces in history. He could only hope that Belle would understand that he had realized she'd had been right all along. People made mistakes, didn't they? After all, he wasn't some infallible storybook hero. ↗

They are prepared for a God who strikes hard bargains but not for a God who gives as much for an hour's work as for a day's.

They are prepared for the potluck supper at First Presbyterian but not for the marriage supper of the lamb... ↗
