The past hour had been spent with a sweet older woman Rhett had known for half his life at least. She missed her husband, she’d gotten quite lonely the last couple years. He was happy to fill up some of that void with conversation and let her know he was willing to stop by her house if she ever needed help with anything. If she needed someone to fix something, cook a meal, or just have a conversation out on the porch. Anything he could do to help someone in the community, young or old didn’t quite matter much to him. This was his home and would always be his home, his only wish was to put some hope back into the community. He gave her a hug and waved goodbye, then took his seat again.
Rhett looked in his appointment book to see what he had next and smiled when he saw another name he recognized. He waited a minute and walked out to greet Pippa. “Hey there! Good to see you again. Come on back, c’mon.” He extended a hand out to shake and motioned down the stairs where the community center portion of the church was. Nothing would make him happier than to have to separate locations. For both the space and the ability to be more welcoming to non-Christian community members. Once they got to his office he let her go in first and found whatever seat seemed more comfortable for her. “So,” he started and took his own seat. “What can I be doin’ for ya today, Ms. Rossi?”
