Greetings Dear Reader,
This was the year that began my life-long love affair with
Volkswagens. It was a taste of freedom
like I had not known since summers with my Grandfather. My friend Mike and I drifted through that
year in our respective yellow and blue Bugs like the world was ours. Sometimes we drove just to drive.
I had found Christ a few years earlier and was caught
between loving him and wrestling with my all too deep anger. I wanted to follow Christ with all my
heart. I was still angry and confused
about the things that preceded my journey to him. I was also unknowingly part of a church that
put their form of following ahead of love and kindness. They dealt in judgement and condemnation
instead of fogginess and grace.
I was loud and large; angry and strong. I had no idea how arrogant and unpleasant I
was. There was a girl I loved and she
would spend time with me but then I would become too much to handle. I could not see how difficult it would be to
stay with me.
As I entered my final year of high school things would
unfold to put me in further anger and isolation. I turned the opportunity to learn and grow
into more duality of person and presentation.
The seventeenth milestone was one where I came so very close to losing everything
to my anger and pain. There was still
light to guide me but I was closing my eyes to it.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
