A random chat on an airplane led to a life-changing idea

- By Jody L. Rohlena

A Safe Home for Women

If you don’t want anyone to talk to you on a plane, hold a Bible in your lap. That’s a trick Kathrine Lee uses to get some quiet time between seminars and speaking engagements in her career as a life coach and business strategist. But it didn’t work the day a handsome man sat next to her and started chatting. He was charming, and before long, Kathrine, a married mother of three, was wondering which of her single girlfriends she’d set him up with. Then she asked him, “So what do you do?”

He owned a pornography company, he told her. He thought it would be funny to get the church lady to like him, then tell her what he did for a living and watch her squirm. Instead, Kathrine started asking him questions.

One was “How do you get the girls?”

“That’s easy,” he replied. “We send scouts to malls and other places where kids hang out and look for girls with daddy issues.”

Kathrine says that was the moment she knew why she’d been seated next to this man. God had put him there to let her know there were girls out there who needed help. “I didn’t have a father in my life. I should have been one of those statistics,” she says.

Deep Pockets - One Christmas, my wife, who seldom wears jewelry, wanted diamond earrings as her gift. I obliged but figured the little box would ruin the surprise, so I bought an inexpensive fleece jacket at a farm supply store and put the earring box in the pocket.
