“The minister extended his hand to A.J. “It’s my pleasure. Sorry to keep you waiting. We have a very active five-year-old, and my wife needed a second pair of hands this morning. She’s getting over a bad cold and isn’t quite up to full speed yet.”
“No problem. I hope she feels better soon.”

A.J. took a deep breath. “I could use some advice.”
“I’ll do my best.”
Encouraged by his insightful questions, A.J. told him her story. Of her engagement, Eric’s death, her injuries, her years in Afghanistan, her work with Good Samaritan.
