[edit] Summary

Still in Washington DC after the events of "Something Blue," Connie meets with two old friends...George and Jimmy Barclay!

[edit] Plot

Connie’s stay in Washington, D.C. continues. She and George Barclay enjoy a restaurant lunch with his son Jimmy, now a local reporter...or he is? Connie has to wonder, especially when a wacky waitress shares a few words with her "boyfriend." Soon arriving at his "workplace," Connie catches Jimmy in his lie. He doesn’t work for a respected Washington paper, he isn’t going to college, and he thinks it would crush his parents if they knew. Where is his job? Connie finds out by following him at night-–Jimmy Barclay is taking photos for a shady tabloid! After Jimmy fails his latest assignment, his boss threatens to fire him. Jimmy begs for another chance and he gets something no one else will cover: the “Stand Your Ground Christian Men’s Conference.” The rally for godly fathers that his dad is helping to lead... The story continues in part II...

[edit] Discussion Questions

1. Was Jimmy right to hide his failures from his parents?
   • Why or why not?
2. How did George show Jimmy that he cared about him?
3. Jimmy found that God and his family still loved him despite his mistakes. When you mess up, what do you feel?
