That is Blaze's protection- the child she us carrying love itself teaching her love. And it is through the child that she will truly come to understand her love for Theo.

Thanks, Ed. You've got it. I wish I could grasp your poetry as well. :)

Wow! Talk about a lesson in Christianity. A great way for young readers to understand about being at one with the Divine. A lot of FS members are devoted to the teachings of the Bible. Have you heard from them?

Thanks so much, Shari. I'd guess that most of my readers are religious folks. I've only had one complaint, and that was about calling Lucifer Luke. :)

Isn't amazing how just talking to Father Murphy can ease one's mind and make everything seem alright? But, why is it that I feel like this chapter is the calm before a storm? Oh, I'm sure it's just me being a worry wart. Thanks for another fun chapter. :-)

This is a nice continuation of your story line. Father Murphy helps Blaze to understand maybe why she has a chance at getting back to God and that it is all about our love for Him. I liked also that you explained why she couldn't communicate with God while in Hell and that it would be the worst punishment. Can't wait to see where this is going. I'm afraid things are going to nicely for Blaze and she is going to hit a bump soon. 8-)

Thanks so much for an insightful review. Blaze will hit a bump so hard that it will knock her off the Earth for a while. But that's not till later, near the dramatic conclusion. :)

This chapter feels like the closing of one door for Blaze and the start of going throu another door . I hope Blaze is right about God protecting Theo from Lucier's wrath.

Thanks so much, Muffins. I wish I could say it would be smooth sailing from here on, but there is still Luke to deal with. :)

Blaze seems to think a good deal of Theo and understands what the priest is talking about - love and God.

I think the meeting went well in the end.

another great chapter, Phyllis.

The lull before the storm is definitely at play here. I can almost see the clouds of things to come on the horizon. I have the feeling there won't be too many nice pleasant breaks for awhile. Another smooth chapter with great dialogue. mikey

Thanks, Mikey. Nothing terrible will happen till close to the end, and it will be a HUGE problem. She'll need the help of all her friends. Next, she'll hear from Franny. :)

Thanks so much, Erica. It's a start. She's promised not to do harm. Can she keep that promise? :)

Father Murphy spoke about love and the scripture they had read. The most important person to her now, is her baby. She says she loves Theo too. And she has promised not to hurt anyone. Let's hope she can change.

Thanks a million for the sixer, Nicole. I know she'll end up happy with Theo and the baby, but Luke is going to interfere, and it won't be pretty. But not for a while.

Do you have a photo of the second car you painted? On FAR perhaps? I showed my hubby and he was quite impressed. Too bad you live so far away. I'd gladly pay to have my own old car painted.

I just got it back from being clear-coated today. I can't do photos yet because it's raining.

Well, that went better than expected. Now on to Rome for romance and celebration...until Luke gets it figured out. I'm sure a snag has to come somewhere.

Thanks, Carolyn. You're right. Luke will find out, and when he does, she'll need the help of her friends. :)

I miss reading about Becca. Hope she and Thad are happy, and I especially hope she doesn't let him push her around as men of the day did to wives. You should write a sequel! About her changing their thinking and fighting with Thad all the while.

Thinking about taking her through women's suffrage...thanks for your faithfulness in following
