[edit] Summary
Harlow Doyle investigates why people have stopped attending Connie's Bible study.
[edit] Plot
Harlow Doyle is prowling around Whit's End, looking for a case. Nothing seems to be cropping up, until Connie walks in and tells Whit that she's not going to teach her Tuesday night Bible study anymore. Her students have been disappearing over the past few weeks. Harlow gets interested. Missing persons cases were a specialty of his back in detective school. So he takes off to find Connie's students, with typically goofy results.
But Whit does a little detective work of his own. He discovers that there is a good reason why Connie's students haven't been showing up lately: Connie hasn't been preparing her lessons well. Whit is able to show Connie that she may have the gift of teaching, but she still needs to study. Studying would show Connie to be a worker approved by God (2 Timothy 2:15). As Whit puts it, just because the Red Sea was miraculously parted doesn't mean we don't need to build bridges.
