Brummel pulled a big gun. “Hank, have you considered that he could sue
you?”
There was a pause at the other end.
Finally Hank answered, “No.”
“He could sue you for damages, slander, defamation of character, mental
anguish, who knows what else?”
Hank drew a deep breath and called on the Lord for patience and wisdom.
“You see the problem?” he said finally. “Too many people don’t know—or
don’t want to know—what the truth is anymore. We don’t stand for
something, so we fall for anything, and now guys like Lou get themselves
into a fog where they can hurt their own families, start their own gossip, ruin
their own reputations, make themselves miserable in their sin … and then
look for someone else to blame! Just who’s doing what to whom?”
Brummel only sighed. “We’ll talk it all out Friday night. You will be
there?”
“Yes, I will. I’ll be counseling somebody and then I’ll go in for the
meeting. Ever done any counseling?”
“No.”
“It gives you a real respect for the truth when you have to help clean up
lives that have been based on a lie. Think about it.”
“Hank, I have other people’s wishes to think about.”
Brummel hung up loudly and wiped the sweat from his palms.
