One Family’s Christianity in ActionThe Highway of Holiness
The Williams family consider themselves hard working people, love God and are in church on the Lord’s day. Marc and Betty Williams’s experiences of life include Marc, the husband and father, switching jobs, moving from the central part of the country to the northwest, and then back. In the midst of things COVID-19 hits. Betty, the wife, develops some physical problems along the way.
The children David and Nancy, both in their teens, are moving from high school to college. David is an excellent soccer player in high school but wonders if he will ever get into college to play soccer. David has some notable skills both in soccer and writing. He is very disciplined and is a leader. His soccer preparation and homework have kept him from dating all through high school. Then he met Susan.
Nancy, a real people person, enjoys the friendships she has built in school and hasn’t thought much about college. She is always concerned about her hair and making sure her mask matches her clothes.
Marc’s company, KeepClean, offers two pieces of equipment that help eradicate the current pandemic growing all over the country. Their business has grown 1000%. Prospective buyers are looking at them to buy them. Marc knows the business may be bought, and has always wanted to own a bookstore.
David’s English teacher, ready to retire, has through about owning a bookstore as well. They talk. David continues to work at his craft and is being watched by prospective college coaches. Nancy, enjoys foodservice and takes a job in a local café, where she meets Daniel. The Williams family tour three colleges that expressed an interest in David playing soccer. Nancy decides to attend college for culinary arts.
The children continue building relationships. Susan’s dad and Nancy’s dad both expect their daughters to honor the courting discipline of dating. The expectation includes the husband being in a position to support the family, before marriage. Both of the guys began to wonder how they would endure waiting to marry without knowing the future. How do you just turn it over to God? Then the unbelievable happens.
