Chapter 14





The reunion was a very happy time for Sara as she and Samantha met Michael, Jamie and Jimmy at the ferry dock. It had been almost a year since she’d seen them. Jimmie’s first birthday was just a few days off. Once everything was loaded into the Cherokee, they headed up the hill to Jed and Abbey’s bed and breakfast. One of the smaller rooms was not occupied. Sara had arranged for them to use it until they had a chance to find out what was going on.

After they had gotten settled, Sara introduced them to Jed and Abbey. She explained that they were good friends in Christ, and that they knew all about what had happened in San Diego. From this introduction, Michael felt comfortable enough to share what had happened to them and what he had discovered in the computer at work. Sara cried as he explained about the excuses for disposal of right wing extremists, but she insisted that he go on and tell the whole story.

When he was done, Sara said that she was not surprised at what Michael had found. There had never been any doubt in her mind that the story the officers had originally given to Michael was not the real thing. Jim was willing to fight, and risk his life to protect his family. But he wouldn’t have tried to break out or shoot somebody just to get away.

Jed then told Michael that the job being his assistant was still open if he wanted it. A large part of the work would be to go out with Jed on the boat on the fishing and hunting charters. Michael would have to learn to bait the hooks, clean and filet the fish and pack gear when they went ashore. He would also be responsible to clean, dress and pack the meat out, after the clients shot the game. Camp cooking was one of Jed’s specialtys and he wasn’t quite ready to give that up yet.

It sounded great to Michael and a whole lot better than manning a desk. They also talked about whether or not Michael and Jamie’s moving there would cause a problem for Sara and Samantha. After looking at all of the angles they could think of, it was decided that they were probably too small a fish for the W.E.B. to still be looking for them seriously. As long as they didn’t do anything to raise attention, they thought it would be all right.

A few weeks later, Jamie was able to get a job working for a couple that ran a hotel downtown. During the off season they would close the hotel and go outside (to the lower forty eight). Jamie would be responsible to make sure any thing that came up got taken care of while the owners were out of town. Once the tourist season started she could work at the front desk, and help with the bookkeeping. Jamie and Michael would be able to live in the hotel year-round.

Things were running very smoothly, and within a few months Michael was even taking clients out in the boat by himself for some of the shorter trips. The small church group that Sara had taken them to was great also. The Lord really seemed to be working in their lives and showing them many new things.

As time progressed, Michael took over more and more of the responsibility for the Charters. The amount he got paid was in direct relation to how much Jed had him do. This worked well for both of them. Jed was able to semi-retire but still stay in the place that he loved. Michael was able to provide for his family, and have a lot of fun in the outdoors at the same time.

One beautiful summer afternoon when Michael was not out on a charter, Sara fixed a barbecue out on the patio. Jamie was able to get away from the hotel, and Dan and Pat left an employee in charge of their shop. Samantha and Jimmie were playing with a ball on the grass. All of the adults, including Jed and Abbey were talking and enjoying the sunshine.

Suddenly the sky parted and the heavens opened up. The Lord was descending toward the Earth. They were lifted up to meet him in the air. Jim was there waiting for them.

After the things that had been foretold in the Revelation had taken place, every knee bowed and every tongue confessed that “Jesus Christ Is Lord.”
