@bthompson, thank you, and thank you for your service and that of your husband. I felt so certain that my service to our country as well as my faith and work ethic would far outweigh the ignorance and racism of our neighbors. People excuse that behavior and chalk it up to "old values". It's unfortunate and rather ridiculous. I appreciate your prayers :).
I am thrilled that you are following. This journey is exciting, and I am so excited to share it with those that will read it. Have a wonderful day.
