Kenny let her into his house, a big thing he'd gotten with his plans in mind. "So why don't you believe?" he asked.

"Well for one, I don't believe in god." She responded. "But even if I did, the idea that after all this time of total silence God is talking directly to just one person... I mean according to Christianity we haven't heard from god at all for like a thousand years, have we? Why now? And why just you?"

"Because I was willing to listen. In truth, it's much more complicated than talking. I don't hear Him the same way I can hear you. I believe that there are others out there, but it's a matter of finding someone who is willing to listen, and to do what needs to be done. Not everyone has that ability," Kenny said. "Besides, if it was the way you thought, and you just started hearing a voice in your head telling you to do things, wouldn't you think you were crazy?"

"Well yeah, that's the second reason I wouldn't believe you." She laughed.

"It's hard to explain, but it's not like hearing a voice. It's more like a feeling. You know when you should be doing homework, but instead you're watching Youtube, and that little nagging voice keeps reminding you about your homework and how much crap you'll be in if you don't do it?" Kenny asked, grinning.

"Yeah." She grinned, knowing it a little too well.

"It's like that," Kenny said. "A little different, but similar. I didn't think too much of it at first, but when I started knowing actual things about people?" He shook his head. "Like your parents, and the fact you needed a ride. It's taken time to figure out how to best help those in need."

"So you do this a lot?" She sat down next to him, curious. He'd definitely successfully distracted her from her parents impending deaths.

"That depends what you mean by 'this'," Kenny answered

"Well I have et to really figure out what 'this' is, so that's probably why." She laughed.

"I don't often let people stay in my home. It hasn't been something many people need. However, I have helped a number of people. Simple things, sometimes, and harder tasks for others."

"Really? Why? You just trying to recruit us to your church?" She nudged him, clearly joking.

"What good would I be as a leader, especially of a church, if I were too selfish to offer help whenever I could? Although, there is something in it for me: the more people I help, the more people there are who can attest to the fact that, if nothing else, I am a good man. It's a good reputation to have. Now, you need to go eat something."

"I do?" She got up to go find something to eat, though she looked a bit confused.

"In my experience, people tend to neglect that when they're going through something hard, the kitchen is right through here." Kenny motioned
