"... I will never marry a preacher shouted Rachel... Well, we're
failed our daughter... Rachel I am going to become a preacher... Tom,
you're kidding... everyone in his family was obligated to go to church...
the congregation presented them with a five-piece silver coffee and
tea service... he would not allow the gift to be displayed in his parsonage...
how could you deceive me... you never told me you were going to become
a preacher... I think it best that we don't see each other again...
please take me back to school... I really meant what I said... Why does
a young religious girl have such a fear of marrying a preacher... she's
a preacher's daughter?... Rachel how involved are you with Tom... I
mean... why not get other preacher's daughters together so we can share
our lives... hi, I' Tiffany Gabler and my dad was a Catholic Priest...
are Catholic Priest allowed to marry?... I seem to get a different treatment
form the guys and girls whey they discover my Dad is a preacher... Tom,
this is Rachel... I am truly sorry I attacked you like I did... does
being a Baptist really forbid you from dancing?... my father was an
Army Chaplain... we were all gypsies... no permanent home... people
think preacher's daughters are either too wild or miss goody-two-shoes...
Valerie, how did it feel when you first became a Christian?... well
no one is struck by lighting and then suddenly becomes a Christian...
the image of God seems to be a difficult concept for young children
and even teenagers to grasp... to a parent it seems unnatural for a
child to die ahead of the parent... Corinthians says we cannot judge
ourselves... but when we are judged by the Lord... Rachel, I can't say
if we will get together again... I'm seeing another girl... if that
is the way you feel we don't need to talk anymore... God please protect
me and tell Thomas that I love him... Mom used to tell me that rain
was God crying... what a silly story to tell a young girl... I wonder
how Tom is doing and if he ever thinks of me... did your brothers and
sisters remain in the church... in a few minutes he was all over me...
I asked him if I could have a minute to say a prayer... what kind of
a girl are you?... Lord, give me guidance as I attempt to talk about
my life... Mom took some of her clothes and drove away... I suppose
if I were in love with someone and he became a preacher... yes I would
marry him... that relationship didn't work out... she was too possessive...
I'm over twenty-one and I can take care of myself... It was apparent
Jackie didn't recognize Rachel... Bob said Tom had not come to the dances
because Jackie was there... always after him... Rachel put away your
pride... call Thomas!... I didn't want to kiss Jackie... she forced
me... I think my grandfather taught the town's people about diversity...
regardless of color... A woman scorned is a woman who will have her
revenge... Jackie, I can't see what Rachel could see that you are pregnant...
we never had sex!... how could you be pregnant?... Tom dear, I want
us back together... Thomas would you be willing to take a polygraph?...
Jackie, don't you have any pride... are you willing to destroy two lives...
you didn't say anything about me being tested by a doctor... Thomas
I want ten thousand dollars... Dad, I need to borrow ten thousand dollars...
just for a little while... where's the money?... are you Jackie Martin?...
you are under arrest... I'll read your rights... Jackie I suggest you
cooperate with the deputy... A date had been set for their wedding...
Rachel's father conducted the service for Thomas... Thomas Kingston,
are you persuaded that you are truly called to the ministry... will
you serve where ever the Lord calls you to serve?... at last she had
accepted God's calling... she is now going to marry a preacher!...
