Back to 1975
When JoJo asked his dad for permission to go over to Nancy's, Dan told him it would be fine ONLY if he took a shower. Now, that JoJo was in Nancy's Living Room, he was glad for his father's insight. He was also glad he put on a splash of Brute--he was a man!
"What did you and the guys do today, JoJo?" Cindy asked more out of politeness than curiosity.
"Nothing much--hung out, ate, and played football."
"Did your team win?" Nancy asked
"HUH...Oh yea, we won."
"Good," the girls said in unison.
"So how bout y'all. What did you do today?" JoJo returned the politeness with the same lack of interest.
Nancy said, "We went shopping."
Cindy chimed in..."It was the best!"
"Oh...what did you get?"
"Clothes, make-up, and perfume!" Nancy said enthusiastically.
Oh Brother JoJo thought. "Yea, that sounds like a fun day."
Both girls giggle.
Wonder why they do that?? JoJo thought
As they listened to records and talked, JoJo quizzed the girls.
"Name your favorite song!"
Nancy said, "That's easy for me...My Eyes Adored You by Frankie Valli!"
Cindy said, "Well...I really like: Jivin Talkin by the Bee Gees."
"Yea, those are good songs."
"What's your current favorite song, JoJo?" Nancy asked.
"I like several, but I would have to say my favorite is: Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas!"
JoJo jumped up and did some "Kung Fu" while he sang the chorus.
The girls broke out in laughter, and pushed each other around.
When things settled down, Cindy said, "I have some news for you two."
JoJo and Nancy looked at each other...then back at Cindy.
"Shoot," JoJo said.
"I AM SAVED!!" Cindy shouted.
"YAH!!!" Nancy and JoJo shouted.
"Tell us about it," Nancy said to Cindy.
"Well, Ms. Passion and I met and I told her I wanted to be saved. Well, she asked me did I know anything about Jesus. When I told her, 'No'. She made read the book of John."
JoJo exclaimed, "The WHOLE Book?!"
"Yes. I read it 3 times."
Nancy said, "WOW!"
JoJo said, "Go on..."
"So, Ms. Passion and I talked again. This time, I listed 74 descriptions of Jesus from the book of John. Not only did I know who He is...I knew I wanted Him to be my Lord and Savior."
Nancy anxiously said, "And..."
"I asked Jesus into my heart. He filled me with His Spirit. I am a New Creature in Christ!"
"Wow! Way cool," Nancy responded.
JoJo said, "Praise the Lord!"
