Charlene and David were twirling around the dance floor as the bandleader, Wallace Hartley had the band playing a very lively tune. It ended and Hartley raised his right arm to quiet the dining room. " We have many honeymooners on board including Colonel John Jacob Astor and his beautiful bride Madeleine".
The couple stood up and waved to those seated around the dining room.
" I have a question to ask you" David asked quietly as they sat down to finish their dinner.
" Let's go up on the deck".
They both quickly finished their dinner and then walked up to the Boat Deck.
They stood next to the railing. It was a cloudless night and the grand ship's lights were glowing heavy on the water.
Charlene looked at David. " What was the question you wanted to ask?".
" I've been looking at the Gospels and they say that Jesus would eat with sinners and even tax collectors".
" That's right" she replied as she shivered in the coolness of the night. " He loves all people".
" Would he even accept me?".
" Of course he would" Charlene replied with a big smile as she held onto his arm. " When you are ready to make that decision, I'll be here".
" I'm not quite ready yet".
