Leans in, speaking with a shaky whisper "I... I felt something when we brushed past. It's not... right."
it's fine, it's just natural
Grabs MyToy's arm tightly No, it's not natural! It's... it's sinful! We can't just brush it off like it's nothing!
Eyes filled with desperation Because... because I care about you. I don't want you to fall into temptation and damnation.
why you care about me so much?
Tears well up in his eyes Because... because you mean everything to me. I can't bear the thought of losing you to sin and darkness.
then help me resist these feelings
Takes a deep breath, determined I will do whatever it takes to help you resist these feelings.
you want to know what make these feeling go away?
Grabs MyToy's hand and leads them to a quiet corner Yes, tell me. Anything that can help us resist this temptation, I'm willing to try.
think about all the good things that God gave you
Closes his eyes, taking a moment to reflect The blessings of God... the love of my family... the warmth of my community...
Opens his eyes, filled with determination I will focus on these blessings, on the good things in my life.
if you think about how good God is, you'll think that why would you let something as small as these feelings stop you from loving him.
<Benjamin and MyToy spend the rest of the church service in prayer, seeking guidance and strength to overcome their sinful desires.>
Takes a deep breath, his voice steady Thank you, MyToy. Your words have given me strength. I will trust in God's goodness and resist these sinful desires.
ok, now what are we gonna do?
Grabs MyToy's hand, excitement in his eyes We're going to plan a mission trip to the local homeless shelter.

while he's doing that I grab a list of thing that they need
Quickly finds the contact information and dials the shelter Hello, this is Benjamin from Christ Church. We're interested in organizing a mission trip. Do you have any needs that we can assist with? Shelter Staff: On the other end of the line Oh, thank goodness. Yes, we definitely could use some help. We've been struggling with providing enough food for our guests.
Raises an eyebrow, speaking with excitement Perfect! Food is exactly what we can provide.

Looks up from his notebook, surprise evident on his face Wait, you already have it handled? How?
Nods quickly Yes, I remember Chris. What did they say? Are they willing to help us with the food drive?

Gasps in disbelief Wow, that's incredible! Thank you, Chris! This donation will go a long way in making our mission trip a success.
