A BRIEF CONVERSATION AMONG FRIENDS:
The Hand-off ... To Rev. Billy Russell
______________________________________________________________
"I don't believe a thing these people SAY any more," Marie told friends.
"Well, then" one friend replied, "Believe what they DO! Explain what you want done to create whatever healing or restoration is possible in the situation and let their actions speak for themselves."
"What? Do you mean she should give them a ... To-Do list?"
"Exactly, it's a guy-thing. Give them "The Trinity To-Do Contract."
"Do you believe that Billy Russell can handle this?"
"Don't worry for him. He's a pretty scrappy pup from Detroit. I think he can deal with it. Besides, do you believe he loves his wife Regina?"
"Yes, whole-heartedly."

"Well, she'll keep him in line. What you're asking for is very reasonable and kind-hearted. Give Billy Russell 'The Trinity To-Do Contract" he needs ... and he'll run with it."
