“Aunt Ryleigh,” Sophie began, “are Sage and Jack going to the rehearsal too?”

“Of course, they are,” Ryleigh said, smiling. “They have to rehearse their parts too, don’t you think?”

“Yeah,” Aaron agreed, “they’ll need to practice. They aren’t experienced like we are, Sophie.”

“Wait a minute,” Lenora said, holding up her hand. “Sage and Jack? Are you talking about the two dogs out there in the yard?”

“That’s right, Grandma,” Spence said, chuckling.

Dave uncrossed his legs and leaned forward in the chair, compassion evident on his face and in his voice. “Look, Travis, we’ve been down this road before. The topic of today’s sermon is one of your favorites, but I have to tell you that I didn’t even recognize my friend giving the sermon this morning. There was no passion. That’s not like you.”

“Okay, I have to admit that I’m a little off my game today. But it was just one sermon.”

“Travis, you and I both know that there is no such thing as ‘just one sermon’ to you. You give a piece of yourself with every sermon you preach. That’s what makes you so special. Your sermons aren’t just empty words to you. They’re part of who you are.”

Not answering, Travis simply tipped his head back in the chair and closed his eyes.

“Talk to me, Travis. Something’s bothering you and I don’t want to have to drag it out of you again.”

Travis stood up and walked around his desk to the window, closing the door on his way. For several long minutes, he stared out the window, saying nothing. After a while, his shoulders sagged as he let out an anguished sigh. Still staring out the window, he nearly whispered, “I don’t think I can preach anymore.”

“Have you ever seen a real castle, Granddad?” the little boy asked.

“Oh, I’ve seen hundreds of castles,” Liam said. “I used to explore castles all the time when I was a wee lad like you.”

“Wow!” Connor exclaimed. “I want to see a real castle!”

“Maybe someday you’ll visit Ireland,” Liam pondered. “Then you’ll see castles everywhere.”

Still sprawled out on the floor with his granddad, Connor looked across the room at his mom.

“Mommy,” he began, “can we go to Ireland to see a castle?”

“Not today, Connor,” Taylor laughed.

Connor turned back to Liam and reported, “Not today. Maybe tomorrow.”

Liam ruffled the boy’s hair and smiled. “Ah, to be a wee lad again with all our tomorrows ahead of us.”
