Something That Lasts

James David Jordan

Medium Paperback

Some Wear
When Ted Balik rises from his pew to speak, no one in the crowded sanctuary of the O?Fallon Bible Church can possibly imagine that within minutes he will be dead and the community scandalized. Sitting behind the altar, The Reverend David Parst goes pale. After years of hard work and missed paychecks, David has become a local religious celebrity. But lately he has questioned whether he married too young?whether he would have chosen someone other than his wife, Sarah, if he had known how high he would rise. Now, he sits rigidly upright, his eyes following Balik's every move. Near the front of the church, David's twelve-year-old son, Jack, looks at his mother, who is sitting beside him. Her eyes are nearly closed and she is rocking gently, her hands grasping her shoulders in a self-comforting hug. She seems to know that what Balik is about to say will change her family forever, plunging them into a struggle with God and one another?a struggle to find something that lasts.
