The Winds of Autumn (2010)
“The fellas got a lot of laughs from it but they meant no harm. It wasn’t that way with Jack Berry. He had been my friend, a close friend. Now he rarely even spoke to me, just about me—and everything he had to say was mean and cutting.
I was really sorry about this. I didn’t like having an enemy. I’d never had one before. Was he sore, too, about not getting to go on the camping trip? I just didn’t know what to do.
I knew what the Bible said about enemies—that we are to love them, to do good to them. But, boy, it sure was hard to be nice to Jack Berry. He seemed to spend his nights thinking up mean things to say about me, and his days saying them.
I tried to ignore the insults but it sure got tough. Even the other fellas were beginning to get on me about the situation. They said I shouldn’t allow Jack to say those things, that I should stand up to him. I tried to shrug it off.
Willie was the only one who really understood how I was feeling.
“It’s tough, Josh,” he said.
