For all of my readers who have encouraged me through this series. You have warmed my heart many times over. God bless you! Keep loving!  

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.

2 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)

Chapter 1

J enny, would you please carry my violin for me? her mom asked.  

It was Tuesday, and the bell was ringing to signal the end of the school day at St. Mary’s school.

Mrs. Belsky’s arms were filled with deflated beach balls that she was taking home to turn into giant peaches.  

You know it might be easier to use balloons or something, Mom, Jenny suggested.

Yes, but Mr. Pritchet had these left over from his class where he demonstrates atom movement between different states of matter. He said the company accidentally sent him one hundred instead of the twenty he ordered.  

Mrs. Belsky turned and used her elbow to flip the light switch off.  

He’s been trying to give them away for weeks. I thought I could help him out and also make some props for the theater to use at the Peach Festival in two weeks.

Dad will be excited, Jenny said, holding open the door to the music room.  

Jenny’s dad was in charge of the Tigothee Falls Young Actor’s theater group.

You know it! He loves any excuse to liven up the dramatic effect, Mrs. Belsky said. Thanks for holding the door. Now, just to lock it…

She tucked the stack of beach balls under her chin and balanced them on her knee so she could find her keys.
