Was it an act of trust?
No. It was just plain normal.
And good.
Something that makes you happy.
And then someone worries he will turn into a werewolf or you will cry wolf when no wolf is there.
Not being normal is hell.
Neither am I out of it.

Seek no more! I found the unique chair for the kitchen corner. Chair #4. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Well worth the wait. Sometimes you need blind faith.

My son brought me into the world of Harry Potter. He is father to the man he became. This year I had dinner with Harry Potter’s creator as we stood up for Lumos which fights traficking in orphanages across the world.

We have asked Lumos Foundation to bridge a gap with the church. Let’s build bridges.

People on class say do not try to reason with bad people. Fight the good fight. I said being cut off (for three months) meant not explaining the charity. A classmate says the other person won’t get it. I reply: you underestimate us both. I am a good teacher. They can learn. And then there is God.

On the Way to Bible Class
The deepest hurts come from
church. From one church to another there has been deep wounds and not much joy but the work continues. May it go better this year in city and town. There will never be a church like Marble was back in the late eighties. They showed the way.

Redoing but implying the kitchen - new floor, table and stool but need a small rustic chair for the far corner. Complicating the bedroom floor with paint.

Another winking day at Empire City. Going home early. Can’t cash it until Friday or the tax for the year will be too much.

Rainy and cold but the people at Empire City are the best!

Wizarding Shops slowly coming along. Slowed-down me. Notre Dame might be done by Easter! Good luck to me.

Working on getting Lumos to join class to tell who they really are. It’s not for the one scorner who dared step on my prayer for I understand where they were coming from and I understand how they hurt. It is for suppression based on gender identity and politics. God is with all of us!

Animals!
