The day that changed her life was the day
Kiefer James Michelson walked into her life. The day started out as any other
ordinary day. As she was cleaning the kitchen she noticed a tall, dark,
handsome man approaching her house. She had no idea who he was or what he was
doing there. He slowly walked to her front porch and rang the doorbell. Susan
answered the door.
“Hi
my name is Kiefer Michelson and you must be Susan he said.”
“Yes I'm Susan and how did you know where I
lived.” She replied.
“You sent me a letter in the mail via my fan
club.” He said
Kiefer
is a famous actor and Susan was an unbaptized publisher of Jehovah’s Witnesses
and in trying to reach his heart she had sent him the require brochure and two
Watch Towers magazines. What she didn't expect was that Kiefer would show up on
her doorstep one-day and ask her to marry him. What Susan didn’t know was that
Kiefer was a former drug addict and that there was a secret
in his dark past. So despite the mess in her house she invited Kiefer into her
house and apologizing for the mess since she wasn’t expecting company.
“It’s ok I should have called, wrote or
something to let you know I was coming and I'm sorry for this unexpected
visit.” He said
Kiefer then gave the red roses and candy he
brought with him.
“So
what did want to talk about?” Susan asked
“Well
I know you hardly know me but I wanted to tell you I was married twice before
and engaged to be married a third time.” Kiefer said.
“I
only have one child and the third marriage never happened” Kiefer said.
He
told her everything about his past expect that he was a recovering drug addict.
“Well
I’m 28 years old and I know your ten years older than me since, I’ve done some
research on him via the internet.”
“I
want to study the Bible but I’ll only study with you.” He said.
Well
that came as a surprise to Susan because she knew Keifer lived in California
and did a television show called 48. It is basically a show that plays 2 days
for the whole season.
To
break the silence Kiefer spoke up.
“I love you and I want to marry you. Before
you start protesting about my life, my 2 ex-wives hear me out.” Kiefer said.
“The reason I love you and want to marry you
is because you are the only one not to send me a photograph to autograph
instead you sent me a brochure called
What Does God Require Of Us and at least two Watch Towers. You had my spiritual interest at
heart and not just the interest of yourself. Too me that’s the kind of woman I
would want to marry someday.”
“I
can’t marry you because you’re not of Jehovah’s Witnesses and I could never
marry an unbeliever.”
“I want to become a believer so will you
please study with me?”
“How
can I study with you when I live Jersey and you live in California?
“If
there is will there is away.
Susan
remembered reading in the 2005 year book of Jehovah’s Witnesses that one sister
studied thorough the mail and she could do the same.
“So
now what do want to do?” Susan asked
“Would you go to dinner with me?”
“Yes I will.”
During dinner Kiefer was trying to
figure how to propose to Susan assuming she would have him. Susan was thinking
about her upcoming baptism that should hopefully during the Convention, which
was to take place July 8-10, 2005.
“I
have a few questions to ask you. One would you mind being a step mom to my
daughter Sandy Maria Michelson?” he asked
“I
can’t picture myself a step mom. However, if Kiefer and she got married I would
want Sandy to consider me more of a big sister than a mom.”
“I
can’t picture myself married to you Kiefer because I doubt you would give up
acting since you’ve tried that before and still came back to acting in the end.
Susan also said”
“If it was true love and it was meant to be he
could and would leave acting for the girl of his dreams.” Kiefer said
“The women of film and television have a
one-track mind as in getting married for the sake of just getting married but
not all.” He also said
“I
don’t want to be subjected to the press and all photographers taking pictures
at every little thing we say or do.” She replied
“That
won’t happen because I’m giving up the show 48 after this season so I can be
with you Susan.” He said
At the end of dinner Keifer decides that
marriage isn’t a possibility tight now so he decides to use the engagement ring
as a promise ring instead. Just before the check arrives Kiefer pulls the ring
out and asks Susan will you be my girlfriend? Susan is surprised by the
question that she needs a moment to think before answering. Just as the check
arrives Susan says yes on the condition that Keifer keeps in contact with her
once he goes back to California and not just to study the Bible.
Kiefer promises to write Susan as
long wrote him. Kiefer spends a week in Jersey and during that week the first
bible study is started. During the bible
study Keifer confesses he was a recovering drug addict. Susan knew that Jehovah
accepted all kinds of people into his fold as long they had the right heart
condition and Susan felt that Kiefer had the right heart condition otherwise he
wouldn’t have wanted to start a bible study with her. After the confession
Kiefer made. They studied lesson one of the require brochure.
The title of the first is: “How can
you find out what God requires?”
“What important information is contained in
the Bible? Would you please read paragraph one Kiefer?” She asked
Kiefer reads the paragraph and Susan asks the
question again. Kiefer then looks at the paragraph and answers the question.
“It
tells you the truth about God; it explains how to cope with problems, how to
find true happiness and what we must do to please God.” He replies
“Very
good, Kiefer on finding the answer in the paragraph and Can you please read
Psalms 1:1-3?
“It
says delight in the law and if you follow the law you will succeed.”
“Kiefer doesn’t that seem nice?”
“Yes it does sound nice.”
Paragraph
two is titled: “Who is the Bible’s author?”
“Kiefer
would you please read paragraph two. Question two is who the Bible’s author
is?”
“The bible was written by some 40 different
men but they were inspired by God to write it.”
“Okay
now read 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 for emphasis”
“All
scriptures are inspired of God and are beneficial for teaching and so forth.”
He says
“Very good Keifer I’m glad to see your
understanding of this lesson. Can you please read paragraph 3 for me but before
you do that let me ask the question and the question is: Why should you study
the bible?”
Kiefer reads the paragraph and answers: your
eternal future depends on your getting know God and doing his will despite any
opposition.
“Very good Kiefer now let’s read
Matthew 5:10-12. What were some reasons to study the Bible despite opposition
from others?”
“Even
though persecuted you should be happy because the kingdom of heavens belongs to
them.”
“That’s
good Kiefer I’ve enjoyed your study today. Do you have any more Bible
questions?
“No
I don’t.”
After the study Kiefer and Susan
talk some more.
“Would
you mind if I used your bathroom?” Kiefer asks
“No
I don’t mind if you use the bathroom.”
After
Kiefer comes out of the bathroom he comes up behind Susan and kisses her. As
the week goes by Susan and Kiefer spend a lot of time together, he goes with
her to her Christian meetings at the Kingdom Hall and decides to look up the
local Kingdom Hall in California when he got back. He enjoyed the meeting all
the friends at the hall. Well on the night before he was supposed to leave for
California Kiefer and Susan exchanged addresses. Kiefer’s address is Kiefer
Michelson; 724 North Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90210 and Susan address is Susan
Christopher, 72 Charmed Lane, East Rutherford, NJ 07073.

Dear
Kiefer,
Hi
how are you? I am fine. What have you been up to? Nothing much happened here.
The next letter you’ll receive from me will be the discussion of lesson 2 who
is God. What I want you to do is read the paragraphs and answer the questions
in your return letter to me. Also read the accompanying scriptures as well and
site a few of them as well in your letter. Look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Susan

Dear
Susan,
Hi
how are you? I am fine. I’ve been finishing up my last season on 48 then I'm
done with acting for good. In about a month I start my new job at the local
food store. Which is a big change for me but I think I’ll adjust. I've read
lesson 2 and here are my answers to the questions: 1 and 2 the true God is the
one who created the heavens and the earth and his name is Jehovah. I read Psalms
83:18, which tells you who god is and his name. 3 the answers is God is a sprit
body and it’s his active force and I read Psalms 104:30 which says if you send
forth your sprit they are created. 4 Jehovah’s outstanding qualities are love,
justice, wisdom, and power. We should do our best to imitate him and Ephesians
5:12 talks about the quality of love and how we should show love to one another
just as Jesus loved us. 5. No we
shouldn’t use images or symbols to represent the only true God. 6. Talks about how to get know God and that is
observing the things he has created and regular study of the bible.
Sincerely,
Keifer

Dear
Kiefer,
It
sounds like you are making fine progress in your study of the bible and I look
forward to your next lesson who is Jesus Christ. Please tell me when you plan
to come to New Jersey again.
Sincerely,
Susan
By
Now Kiefer has gone back to California. In missing Susan he decides to write
her a letter.

Dear
Susan
I
miss you oh so much. I can’t wait to come back to Jersey. I have come to love
you oh so much; words can’t really express what I am feeling. But I composed a
little poem to express my feelings. Here it goes: you light a fire in me that
burns bright. You light a fire in me that makes me love you more and more with
each passing day.
Love,
Kiefer

Dear
Susan,
I
just wanted to drop you a line before I got your response. I want to hold you
in my arms oh so tight and never let you go. You make me smile. When I think
about you, you brighten my day, roses are red, and violets are blue. Sugar is
sweet and so are you. You are the sunshine of my life. You make my day sparkle.
Love,
Keifer
P.S.
call me at 1-978-286-7708 or my cell phone at 1-978-227-7080.
Well
the seven days has passed and Kiefer arrived at the airport @ 12:20 pm. he
calls Susan from a pay phone.
Susan
picked up.
“Hi Kiefer kiss, kiss. How are you?”
“Kiss,
kiss back and I’m tired from the flight.”
“Oh
sorry to hear that you’re so tired. So where are you staying this time?”
“I’m
staying at the Maid Marion Hotel again.”
“Oh
ok you just started a new job. And you’re already getting so much time off .how
did you managed that.”
“Oh
I managed that because I have family here that is settling estate matters. You
see one of my relatives that lived here has died and they left a will but it
was destroyed somehow before the reading of the will. So now my family is
trying to decide who gets what. Listen I have to go the operator wants more
money.”
“Ok
bye Kiefer.”
“Can
I come by for dinner?” He asked as he deposited in more money.
“Sure”
replied Susan.
“Does that mean you live with your
parents and younger brother?” Kiefer said
“While
I go Ruby Rod Community College I can’t afford to move out.”
“Oh
that’s interesting since you’ve always had my study outside of your house.”
Kiefer
said
“Well
Kiefer that will change this time around it’s too cold to be outside and study
the bible. I’ve even grown my hair out a bit.”
“I
like it short why did you grow it out Susan.”
“Well
Kiefer that’s because it got cold here in New Jersey.”
“Why
don’t you move to California and live with me.”
“Well
Kiefer I can’t live with you unless we were married first and I can’t marry you
till you’re baptized.”
“Oh
I know I'm sorry I forgot. Are we going to have a discussion of lesson 10 of
the require brochure.”
“Not
tonight, tonight we are having dinner with my family and my long distance
boyfriend.” “Awe thanks well I have to go I arrived at the hotel.” As he hung
up his cell phone.
Kiefer checks in with ease this
time. People at the hotel give him star treatment in hopes of he’ll give them
an autograph. What they don’t know yet is Kiefer has quit acting for good. They
don’t know yet because the last season of 48 that Kiefer filmed is in the
process of airing now. On the way to Susan’s house he decided to stop at a
florist and get some red roses for Susan. He walked to Susan’s house because
she only lived a few blocks away from the Maid Marion hotel. Besides he enjoyed
a leisurely walk in the night air. He arrived at Susan's house at exactly 7:00
pm just as Susan's younger brother Shane was putting the finishing touches on
the bake ziti.
After he walked into the house he
gave Susan the roses.
“Thank
you for the lovely roses. What would you like to drink?”
“I
would take any kind of soda please and thank you.”
So
Susan got him a Diet Dr. Michael Cherry Vanilla.
“Thank
you for the soda Susan.”
“I
would like to meet my dad Shane Sr., my mom Shelly, and my brother Shane Jr.
please call Shane JR. Junior so you don’t confuse my dad and brother.”
“No
problem.”
“So
Shelly what do you do for a living?”
“I
work at the local Shoo Bees, which is a sub shop.” Shelly said
“What
do you do for a living Shane?”
“I’m
not working right now because the company I was working for closed and moved to
Brazil. So I decided to retire early”
“So
Junior what do you do for a living?”
“I’m
currently unemployed and I’m not really looking at the moment.”
“What is Sandy like? How old is
she?”
“Well
Sandy is a sweet, honest hearted young woman and I love her dearly. Sandy is 17
and she was born on April 16, 1988.”
“Wow
oh wow I’m only 12 years older than your daughter.”
“What
are your plans for the future? Do you plan on marrying Susan?” Shane Sr. asked
“Susan will you marry me?”
“I
have to think about it for a few days and then she’ll let him know.”
She
doesn't know what to say or do. So she takes the matter to Jehovah in prayer. After
meditating on her prayer and considering her options Susan decides to call
Kiefer so she can give him her decision.
“Kiefer
I’ve made my decision. I’ve decided that I can’t marry you I’m so sorry.”
Kiefer
leaves right after hanging up on Susan.
Ten minutes later he's on doorstep
and ringing the doorbell. Susan answers the door and invites Kiefer into the
hall.
“I
can’t marry you even though you made all these changes.”
How dare she tell me she can’t
marry me? Am I not good enough for her?
“If
that’s the case I’m going to stop studying the Bible and nothing you say or do
will convince me otherwise.”
“If
you keep studying the Bible Kiefer you could marry any single sister you
wanted. Besides living by the Bible is the best way of life.”
“Don’t
you get it if I can’t have you I don’t want to study? Please stop preaching to
me.”
Nothing Susan says or does can convince Kiefer
to keep studying the bible with her or anyone.
Kiefer
storms out of the house and storms back to the hotel. Once back at the hotel he
decides he needs to calm down. How dare
she turn me down? I’m Keifer James Michelson the greatest actor in the world.
I’ve made all these changes for her. So how dare her. He begins to pack up
all his belongings so he can go back to California. He calls the airline to
change his flight to an earlier flight back to California. What the fuck is wrong with me that she won’t fucking marry me. I wish
I never met that bitch Susan. What will happen to Susan and Kiefer? Will
Susan move on to François Daily? Or will Kiefer start to study again. Stayed
tuned to see what happened to Susan and Kiefer. When did François Daily come
into the picture? Or has he always been there. As told by Susan’s best friend
Frances Marie March.
To
continue.
