"You obviously missed the point whenI admonished you to not be judgemental.Your wife-- who you could not respect enough to listen to-- was more My min...ster in the world you lived in than you were, even as you were so sure that you were ahead of her in understanding and spreading My love."I laughed in my Creator's face.

Shelly said, eager to say anything to get her clothes back.Teddy knew that Shelly probably hadn't decided to give in; she probably was just saying that. "Drop the towel, then." Huh?"
