Ruthie herself is here again and has more to say to you! Welcome back, Ruthie! Go! 'Hi, everyone! And, Thanks, Tom! This is Ruthie Barlett speaking to you once more. I'm back with you, and I've got NEW ADVENTURES IN FRIENDSHIP to share! BOOK TWO! When my so deeply loved girlfriends -- and sisters in faith, LaTasha, and Bethie, and Caitlyn -- when we decided to be The Rhombus, it was to be girls always looking to OFFER HELP and MAKE FRIENDS. God has sure brought us some opportunities. Thank you again, God! Let's see. There's ZELDA -- read the ADVENTURE "Zelda is Tempted." Zelda was someone spending time in dark, scary places, mind and body. There's GINNY; she was this pitiful-looking girl shivering on a bench in a park when we . . . FOUND HER. That's right, we didn't really MEET her, we FOUND her and started trying to help her overcome how she felt about herself. God loves her just as much as He loves us -- just as much as He loves YOU, good people sharing in my ADVENTURES IN FRIENDSHIP. Read the ADVENTURE called "Virginia Spring Beauty." And Ginny brought us to JEANNETTE; Jeannette had drug troubles, but we strove to bring OUR encouragement, and GOD's ENCOURAGEMENT to her, too. And one night, when we went to rescue Jeannette, led next day to a whole series of FRIENDSHIP ADVENTURES. Come see that parade in the ADVENTURE titled "We Just Disagree About God." And meet, as we did, AMAKA, and then DWAYNE, and then ABBY, all people who needed our "Park Bench Prayers." This BOOK TWO series of ADVENTURES is called "Park Bench Prayers II." Our effort, our being ready ALWAYS to help, gave us a SEQUEL! Come along with us again! Read all these new ADVENTURES IN FRIENDSHIP. They're mine, I guess in a way -- they are, as it says, RUTHIE'S ADVENTURES IN FRIENDSHIP, and since I'm Ruthie . . . . But I want ALL OF YOU to share them, and talk about them, and do that with your friends -- and your parents, too. Include them all. Yes, please include them ALL on our journey TOGETHER. Will I see you soon again? Hoping so!' -- Ruthie Thanks, Ruthie! Everyone ready now to READ, and SHARE, RUTHIE'S ADVENTURES IN FRIENDSHIP, BOOK TWO? WONDERFUL!
