Still have a few edits to finish up. Have had some stuff going on that I'm trying to deal with. I'll get to it when I get into work in a little while.

I did see the first draft image and gotta admit..... much better than the Kyan fiasco.

Maci and Gracie terrorizing the other kids as Maeve watches in horror.

Make her do something? Tried to get her to change Ball, um BedSack. She wouldn't go for it.

My dad kept his in mint condition. I can't even imagine what it would be worth today.

I think most of us who grew up with Bible stories believed in all of them for a while. I read somewhere that the Noah’s Ark story and other civilization flood stories (same region, including Atlantis) may have originated from the creation of the Medterranean Sea when the Atlantic Ocean breached the narrow gap of land between Europe and Africa and flooded the lower basin. Makes more sense to me.

I firmly believe that man created god. I also firmly believe I know the difference between enunciation and annunciation. One of those momentary brain hesitations where you pick which way to go and you choose wrong and then your editing team doesn't catch it. Lol. Oh well.

I'm glad you found your peace. Stepping away from everything you were taught way the "right" way must have been hard, but totally worth it.

Thanks for sharing your memories. I'm sure there are so many other who have similar experiences. I know so many people who have stories of priests who were just plain nasty people. It's always best to agree to disagree. Thanks for reading!

I/we did put a lot of hours into this story. There were many times when we had conversations discussing various plots and/or actions of the characters. It's exhausting, but absolutely rewarding in the end when I/we get comments like these.

Gracie Goes to Cousin Camp!

No. Now go write Max and Reid's story.

Can we talk about the name BedSack? I'd like to go on record that I'm not a fan.

Thank you! Finding balance when dealing with any sensitive subject matter is always like walking a tightrope. This subject is probably the skinniest rope I've balanced on yet. I almost didn't write it because I wasn't sure I could pull it off.

Jesuit may be a little more open-minded but I'm not so sure the topic wouldn't be allowed anywhere else. Things are much different today and exclusions are frowned upon, even in private schools. Terrible things happen because they can. I've never really understood why guilt has to be so interwoven with some religions more than others. Faith, as defined by Merriam Webster is noun : allegiance to duty or a person : fidelity to one's promises : sincerity of intentions 2 a(1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b(1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust 3 : something that is believed especially with strong conviction especially : a system of religious beliefs

Thanks Parker! I'm not sure I would go that far, but I hope that it makes a few people think.

Better?

Shit... I'm retracting my review

Gnomie did it again. She brought us an amazing story of one man's journey of loss, finding himself and in doing so, discovering who he is outside of a grieving widower and young father. It's also the another man's story of family and how to fall in love from outside of what is considered the norm and overcoming the obstacles of getting there. Well worth the read.

I'm. Not. Crying!

We got some news today that we're trying to process and not worry over too much, but for me it's proving extremely difficult. Earlier this week my husband noticed one of his pupils was smaller than the other and it didn't go back to normal after a day or so. He called his eye doctor today because with his macular degeneration any change has to be checked out. Well, he now has an appointment on Monday for 4 hours of testing with a neuro-opthalmologist. I don't suggest Googling any of it. I'm going to be a wreck until Monday.

I will always love Lex. ❤️

I forgot... you don't get the scoop. He got sent home after getting the all clear and was sleeping soundly this morning. It's amazing how kids bounce back.

I had one of those big classes too. I think we ended up with one priest, a Catholic school principal and maybe a dozen Catholic school teachers. Thanks for reading!
