her heart says to forgive Michael. That isn’t easier said than
done. She sees God’s one acceptable reason for a divorce as the
only opt-out clause in her marriage. Michael Bishop is a repenting

the devil’s snares. But Michael didn’t and he had fallen. Although

but to wait until the whole Valentine’s Day hoopla was over, then
he would make his move on a sister in his church he can’t take his
eyes off of. For the past two years and counting, Valerie Hart
