God-Talk in the Office

“Someone asked me an unexpected question at work today,” I mention to my husband, Brad, as we stand in the kitchen with our backs to one another. He stir-fries chicken at the stove; I chop broccoli and scallions at the counter, the chef’s knife tapping the wood cutting board like a woodpecker against an oak tree.

I describe how a colleague, someone I’d seen around the building but never met, had popped her head into my office that afternoon, how she’d hesitated at the doorway, blushing and shifting from one foot to the other.

“She told me that she had an awkward question,” I say, turning to face Brad’s back, “and then she asked me if I love Jesus.”
