Joe Cool saunters into the room. He's up to date with the latest films and music. He can talk football or Kylie until your ears drop off. 'Hey dude, how's it going?'
After about 15 minutes of small talk, he changes tone and admits that the Bible study had better start, 'After all that's what it's all about, right?' The Bible study's great, Joe's got some funny stories and he really seems to know the Bible well. The trouble is that afterwards the boys can remember the stories but can't recall what the passage was all about. 'But, hey, Joe's great, isn't he?'
Anxious enquiries
Jane Nervy slips in quietly. She sits on the floor close by the door and doesn't make eye contact. She waits a long time to be noticed and starts with a rather timid, 'Do you want to quieten down and find your Bibles?' Of course, this is only a suggestion, so the mayhem continues for another five minutes.
