The sign outside proclaimed:
-CHURCH PARKING ONLY-
God Forgives.
Kowalski and Sons Towing does not.
Father Timothy would’ve smiled.
He once warned that hell had a room with my name on it after I accidentally scratched his gold Cadillac while carrying the plastic baby Jesus statue to the nativity scene.
I asked if my room would be close to his. He loathed me, and I avoided him like meat on Fridays. Poor Timothy. He died at an after-mass mixer; keeled over mid-sentence into the sugar cookies and lemonade.
His nephew got the Cadillac. Stuck on a colorful, “Pro-Choice” bumper sticker.

Very nice!
A brilliant nt and compact tale of sin and redemption. We just loved it.
This is a fine story. I enjoyed every bit of it.
Really liked the “twists”.
Love it. Thanks so much
