/ Trudy: In the awkward silence afterward, he returns me to the couch, as if nothing ever happened. / Trudy: But then he says something odd, something no one ever said to me:
/ Akhilesh: You are tired and need more rest. But if you want to talk about anything, anything at all, I will always be ready to listen. / [[Akhilesh goes to the kitchen]]
/ Trudy: He leaves me then, and I hear him locking up the knives where I can't reach them. I want to cry again, but I have no more tears to shed. / Trudy: Then I hear him talking quietly, although no one else is there. Then I realize what he says.
/ Trudy: He is praying. He is praying for me. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050219.html |
| GPF Archive: Sunday, February 20, 2005 | [[Trudy lays on Akhilesh's couch]]
/ Trudy: When the weekend arrives, his constant presence makes the silence unbearable. Finally, I blurt out in a mix of annoyance and frustration:
/ Trudy: Why are you helping me?
/ Akhilesh: Why? / Akhilesh: Because you are my neighbor!
/ Trudy: What? You're not making any sense. I don't live next door.
/ Akhilesh: On the contrary! / Akhilesh: Everyone is my neighbor! We are neighbors on this earth, as we are all its citizens. We are told to "love your neighbor as yourself." / Trudy: Great. I'm being nursed to health by Mr. Rogers.
/ Akhilesh: Ha! Not quite, although I do like his choice of sweaters. / Akhilesh: Have you not heard the parable of the Good Samaritan? Even as his own countrymen passed him by, the poor victim was aided by a social outcast, who gave of his love for his fellow man and sought nothing in return. / Trudy: Perfect. I'm the prisoner of a Jesus freak.
/ Akhilesh: Why, yes! I suppose I am freaky about Jesus. Thank you! http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050220.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, February 21, 2005 | [[Trudy lays on Akhilesh's couch]]
/ Akhilesh: Hebrews 13:2 says, "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it."
/ Trudy: Well, I'm no angel, that's for sure... / Akhilesh: Perhaps not. But you appear to me to be a lovely woman, if I may be so bold. Lovely, but so filled with pain and regret. You have such a heavy weight hanging about you...
/ Trudy: You don't know the half of it. / Akhilesh: I do not know what you have done in this life, nor is it my place to know. But I am a healer, and while I try to heal the body, I also try to heal the soul. Yours troubles me greatly.
/ Trudy: Well, don't trouble yourself. I don't believe in souls. / Akhilesh: That's all right. You may not believe, but I believe in you. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050221.html |
| GPF Archive: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 | [[Trudy enters Akhilesh's kitchen]]
/ Trudy: Perhaps it is boredom or morbid curiosity, but I soon find myself asking him:
/ Trudy: How can a man of science believe in something so archaic as God? / Akhilesh: Archaic? I would not call God archaic. The Bible says He is "the same yesterday and today and forever."
/ Trudy: You know what I mean. How can you believe a god really exists? / Akhilesh: A better question would be how can I not? When I look at the intricacies of the human body, I cannot help but see His handiwork. I see not the random chance of millions of years of evolution, but the craftsmanship of the master artist. / Akhilesh: Besides, "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'"
/ Trudy: I have enough problems with jesters than to end up being one, thank you. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050222.html |

/ Trudy: I don't need to listen to this garbage...
/ Akhilesh: But... YOU were the one who asked...
/ Trudy: I'm LEAVING! / Akhilesh: And where do you think you will go? The roads are only now clearing, and you are still in no condition to travel. You have no money, no food, no shelter. But you are welcome to stay here until you CAN leave. / Trudy: I DON'T NEED YOUR RELIGIOUS RAMBLING CRAMMED DOWN MY THROAT!
/ Akhilesh: I crammed nothing, Trudy. You asked a question and I answered it. / Akhilesh: Perhaps you will feel better after a game of Parcheesi?
/ Trudy: No, I bet I'd feel better after I shove that board up your--
/ Akhilesh: LET US PLAY! http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050223.html |
| GPF Archive: Thursday, February 24, 2005 | Trudy Narrating: After several games of Parcheesi (I never did figure out the rules), I finally give in...
/ Trudy: I'm... sorry about my outburst, Akhilesh.
/ Akhilesh: Oh, it is fine. Think nothing-- / Trudy: No. You've been nothing but kind to me, and all I've done is throw it in your face and get blood stains on your bathroom rug. I... appreciate all you've done for me. / Trudy: You spoke of loving your neighbor... I've realized how little true love I've given and received in my life, to the point that I have trouble accepting simple kindness and a helping hand. / Trudy: If you only knew what I've been through...
/ Akhilesh: By happy coincidence, I happen to be an excellent listener... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050224.html |
| GPF Archive: Friday, February 25, 2005 | Trudy Narrating: I don't know what comes over me. I start from the beginning, from my miserable parents, and work my way forward. The tale gushes like an unstoppable torrent. / Trudy Narrating: When I start talking about my future self, I can tell he struggles to comprehend. Betraying Nick is the hardest to share, harder even than how callously I threw away Chuck's life. / Trudy Narrating: When I finish, he stands and walks away. For the first time, I see the tension in his stance, as if he cannot bear to hear any more evil. I expect him to dial 911 and turn me in. I won't stop him. / Trudy Narrating: But, surprisingly, he doesn't. That annoying smile returns, although tempered by... pity? Very softly, he says what I least expect:
/ Akhilesh: You may never forgive yourself, Trudy, but I forgive you. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050225.html |
| GPF Archive: Saturday, February 26, 2005 | Trudy: You... forgive me?
/ Akhilesh: It is not my place to judge a person by what they have done. That is between you and God. / Akhilesh: But I can see a change in you since you arrived. You see less of what ill the world has done to you and more of what you have done to it. That is the first step in finding forgiveness. / Akhilesh: I cannot heal your spirit, Trudy. I have done all that I can for your body, but that is all I can do. But I can point you in the right direction. / [[He offers her a copy of the Bible]]
/ Akhilesh: I feel you need to appeal to a higher power. Only then will you finally find peace. / {{Author's notes below the panel: "Some people may be confused by Akhilesh's reaction to Trudy's story. After all that we know she has done, how could anyone think to forgive her? Here's a few references that may explain his reaction: Matthew 7:1-5, Luke 6:37, Romans 14:4 and 14:10-13, 1 Corinthians 4:3-5 and 5:12-13, and James 4:11-12."}} http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050226.html |
| GPF Archive: Sunday, February 27, 2005 | Trudy: You... can't be serious...
/ Akhilesh: As serious as a heart attack.
/ Trudy: And you expect me to find the answer to all my problems in a 2000-year-old book? / Akhilesh: No, Trudy. I expect you to find the answer to your *greatest* need: *forgiveness*. With all you have done, you may never find it from man, nor may you forgive yourself. But "if we confess our sins," God "is faithful and just and will forgive us." / Trudy: Like God would care about me, with all I've done...
/ Akhilesh: "He is patient with you, not wanting everyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance." / Trudy: What I've done is too terrible to forgive!
/ Akhilesh: "As far as East is from West, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." / Trudy: There's nothing I can do to atone for what I've done!
/ Akhilesh: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast." / Trudy: You are *beyond* irritating, do you know that?
/ Akhilesh: Perhaps, but I can keep this up all day if I must... / {{Author's notes below the comic: "Panel Two: 1 John 1:9. See also Ephesians 1:7 and Hebrews 8:12. Panel Three: 2 Peter 3:9. Panel Four: Psalm 103:11-12, although Luke 1:37 would be a more direct (and shorter) response. Panel Five: Ephesians 2:8-9."}} http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050227.html |

/ Akhilesh: Your need I will no longer debate. But the condition still stands. / Akhilesh: If you do not take this Bible and place it in your bag, I will call the police the instant you step out my door. If you do take it, you have my solemn promise not to call them. / Akhilesh: I have no way of knowing if you will throw it away as soon as you reach downstairs, but I pray you will not. A book I can always replace, but the soul of a friend is far more precious. / Akhilesh: If you read it, you will find that if even thieves, murderers, liars, prostitutes, cowards, cheats, and corrupt politicians can find grace from God, then so can *you*. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050301.html |

/ Trudy voiceover: I'm no idiot. A free head start on the UGA is worth contaminating my bag with "Bible cooties," if such a thing exists. / Trudy voiceover: I pack what little I have, shoulder my bag, and open the door. But I can't bring myself to step outside. The weight of my debt swarms over me, and I realize I owe more than I have to give. / [[Trudy turns at the door.]]
/ Trudy voiceover: But at the least, I must share that little bit I have...
/ Trudy: Thank you, Akhilesh. For everything. / Trudy voiceover: That stupid smile returns, and I know what he'll say before he says it.
/ Akhilesh: Goodbye, Trudy. I will be praying for you. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050302.html |

/ Trudy voiceover: Of course, I won't find out until much later how close I came to *not* making it out of town, but the head start grants me a bit more rest. / Trudy voiceover: I mull over the past week, and realize how futile my life has become. My wounds ache slightly, as if to remind me of my ordeal. / [[Trudy looks at the edge of the Bible peeking out of her bag.]]
/ Trudy voiceover: But I have another reminder, a nagging reminder, and each time I see that burgundy leather cover, I hear his voice and see that goofy smile once more... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050303.html |

/ [[Trudy looks at a closed Bible Akhilesh gave her]] / Trudy narrates: I have no hope in myself; I can't see how anyone could hold such hope for me. My life is worthless. How could even a God take interest in my troubles?
/ [[Trudy tosses aside the Bible]] / Trudy narrates: By chance, the book lands open, and my eyes catch a phrase...

/ people of Israel:
/ 8 The LORD is compassionat[e]
/ and gracious, slow to

/ 9 He will not always accuse,
/ nor will he harbor his
/ anger forever;
/ [1]0 He does not treat us as

/ Trudy: (voiceover) I never believed in fate. Providence is only the capital of Rhode Island. / [[Akhilesh smiles as he talks to the grinning female receptionist at the front desk.]]
/ Trudy: (voiceover) But I'll no longer deny the possibility they may exist. My life is full of far too many coincidences as it is. / [[Akhilesh enters a darkened room, still smiling.]]
/ Trudy: (voiceover) Somewhere, there is a doctor who prays to his god that I might find love and forgiveness. For all my lack of faith, I hope his faith is stronger. / [[Akhilesh takes the hand of the unknown woman in the hospital bed, a concerned look on his face as he sits.]]
/ Trudy: (voiceover) If there is a God, He already knows I need all the help I can get.

/ Nick: Um, sure. I was just feeling a little overwhelmed. / [[Ki huddles behind Nick]]

| GPF Archive: Monday, March 7, 2005 | Ki: Why do you feel overwhelmed?
/ Nick: I dunno. I guess I hadn't realized just how much planning goes into a wedding. / Ki: Well, it helps to have a checklist. With the help of several bridal web sites, I printed off this customized time line of what we need to do and when we need to do it. I also had a general idea what I wanted. / Nick: I suppose women start planning their weddings when they're still little girls...
/ Ki: That's a very stereotypical thing to say. / Nick: Just as stereotypical as the groom not caring, so just tell him where to stand?
/ Ki: Just because it's a stereotype doesn't make it any less true. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050307.html |

We have straight as well as bow ties, cummerbunds, vests, various styles of jackets and trousers, several styles of shirts, shoes, cufflinks, and buttons... / Clerk: Is... something the matter?

/ Clerk: Then perhaps sir might be interested in our "Turbo Tux 6.5" model, made especially for tech-savvy gentlemen such as yourself! / Clerk: The bowtie contains a mini web cam for live video feeds to your web site, the cufflinks are wireless radios to keep you and your groomsmen in constant contact, and the vest features the "retro" circuit pattern of the original Intel 286 processor. / Ki: You can't be serious...

/ Nick: Oh! Wifi! / Ki: Installment plan? We're looking to rent it, not buy it.
/ Clerk: Oh, but the price includes upgrades and maintenance. / Ki: Upgrades? Maintenance?
/ Clerk: Yes, the Turbo Tux requires regular software updates, as well as battery replacement. Upgrades to new minor versions are also free with the service agreement. / [[Ki drags Nick away from the Turbo Tux]]

Will we move into your place or mine? Will we buy a house instead? / Ki: It's not just about china patterns and floral arrangements. We have an entire future to plan.
