My second book signing event was at the Barnes & Noble on September 24, 2011. As I was signing books for a long line of people I did not notice that one of my enemies from the police department had come into the store and was watching me from a distance. She had purchased a hardbound copy of my book from the internet and had come to have me sign her book. 
As the line thinned out my enemy, who I will refer to as Betty, approached me and I warmly reached out and gave her a big hug. Shocked, she looked at me with tears in her eyes and asked, “Debra, why couldn’t you have been this way 20 years ago…you were so angry when you were on the police department.” I replied, “Betty, that anger was fear and the reason I couldn’t be this way 20 years ago is because Jesus was not in my heart.” Betty looked intently at me and said, “I read your book and I want to know more about this conversion. Can you tell me how it happens?” I felt her pain and I knew that what she was asking could not be explained in a way that it would make sense to her natural mind so I responded this way. “Betty, what you are asking does not happen in the mind, it happens in the heart and a better one to ask is Jesus himself. That is the way it happened for me. I asked and He responded in a way that was so dramatic that I have never been the same since!”
