One day, Joanna and Millie were hanging out at Joanna's house. Joanna's grandparents made a surprise visit. They acted friendly upon meeting Millie, but they gave Joanna a stern look when they saw the letters, "L, G, B, and T" on Millie's shirt. Oh, no. This couldn't be good. After Millie left, Joanna's grandparents simultaneously asked, "Joanna, may we see you in the kitchen?" Joanna followed them in the kitchen. That never meant anything good. Her grandfather said, "Your friend's a queer, isn't she?" Joanna said, "They don't call them queer anymore, Grandpa. Besides, Millie doesn't like to be called a queer." Joanna's grandmother said, "First, you tell us that you're a deist or some kind of enlightenment junk, and now you've pulled this stunt." Joanna said, "Grandma, Millie is not a bad person." Her grandfather said, "We're just concerned she might try to, you know, turn you." Joanna said, "Grandpa, homosexuals don't try to convert people; Christians do." Her grandmother said, "Joanna, think about it. Would someone who loves God be friends with a homo-whatever you call 'em?" Joanna said, "Yes, I think so. To me, if someone truly loves God, then he or she is tolerant to everyone, regardless of their beliefs and viewpoints." Her grandfather said, "I was hoping it wouldn't come to this." She said, "I don't understand. Come to what?" He said, "I was hoping all of my grandchildren would be great Christians, never being of the world like you. When you told me you got saved, it tickled me to death. It breaks my coração that you've lost your salvation. I can't urso the thought of you going to Hell." Joanna cried out, "What?!" Tears formed in her eyes, and she ran out the door. As usual, when she would get upset, she took a walk through the neighborhood. Suddenly, it began to rain. She sat under a tree, the only shelter she had. She then heard a voice saying her name. She looked up. It was Paul. He was holding an umbrella. He asked, "What are you doing out in the rain?" She said, "I was taking a walk, and I got caught in the rain." He said, "Come inside with me, and I'm not taking no for an answer, love!" Once inside, Paul's adoptive mother began to help Joanna dry off. Joanna said, "Thank you." Still, she felt down. Paul noticed her looking sad. He asked, "Are you okay?" She said, "No." He asked, "What's the matter, love?" She told him everything. He said, "I'm sorry, Joanna. I don't know what to say." He hugged her. She said, "Oh, Paul, you always know how to make me feel better." He smiled and said, "I'm glad you're feeling better, love."
