Yes, we don't know when we have it good, I have indeed known that fierce drawing of the attractive, but where we don't fit, almost like God watching us fall, I'm glad you found what was going to benefit you, we may run away from our own noses, resisting "growing" up. Beautifully written Stan, blessings Roy

This is good chapter. I'm sure it hurt when the rich girl just wanted to be your friend. But Mary was really the meant to be the love of your life and we loved you.

This is super sweet and real. I understand the power of love although seperated. My husband and I fell in love very young and my stepfather was having fits of depression and violence with his PTSD. Jack fought long and hard to have me and we had periods of seperation. My mother eventually divorced the major. Only then were we free to marry.

Marvelous true story, my friend. Keep up the good work.
My very best to you and yours.
Sal :))

This is a very well written story outlining Tom's journey in the ministry and a waywardness in his personal life that leaves him searching for answers. There is real emotion here and a dilemma for Tom who has to make a decision on whether Coreen is the one with whom his life should change. That call hasn't come by the end of this chapter and his journey continues. Thanks for sharing. Debbie

Amazing timing! Because of the experience with Coreen, you realized how true and precious Mary's devoted love was. Another interesting chapter and hope it goes much better in Texas than in Colorado!

but her love was no fools gold. (fools')
Maybe, you can go their too (there)
but its just an elective (it's)
