I “met” Mary online on my Disney message forum. Though our on-line banter was not copious, we had exchanged posts enough that her screen name was clearly on my radar as “someone special” that day when I saw a little map someone made up with everyone’s avatar and geographic location.
Wait – SHE lives near ME?
WELL – turns out that the Butlers aren’t the only people to take advantage of a pandemic to pull up roots and start over somewhere new.
She had been here a lot last summer as she and her family weathered the remote/lockdown life with her SIL and family. They asked Jesus to show them the way and here she is.
With me.
At Steam Coffee – where we ate yummy food, shared testimonies, and prayed together as only people who have had their world shaken up can pray together.
I look forward to more visits with her.
