Description:
Continued from Part 1...
Jimmy Barclay continues to dodge his dad, refusing to give any real answers about his flawed life in Washington, D.C. Connie soon learns that Jimmy has lost his job and has been sleeping in a park! She urges him to go with George to the men’s rally, but he backs out. Before Connie can say another word about he and his dad, Jimmy notes that she too is avoiding the hard questions...she doesn't want to go back in Odyssey and face questions about Mitch.
Responding to the love of both God and their friends, Jimmy and Connie return to their simpler lives. For Jimmy, that means catching his dad at the airport and owning up to his mistakes. For Connie, it’s back to Odyssey!
Questions:
Was Jimmy right to hide his failures from his parents? Why or why not? How did George show Jimmy that he cared about him? Jimmy found that God and his family still loved him despite his mistakes. When you mess up, what do you feel?
