Aloha Eric, followed the link in this post to discover your moving story. Given my journey thus far (out, gay monk, social worker) your transparency — refreshing.

Life of service — while vaulted (valued / esteemed) by most — said esteem blinds most to the 24x7x365 cost of being of service. Your Pastor partnership inspired you to take risks. Risking to love — unconditionally — a rare path.

For what it’s worth — know you’ve got one more soul sending love, light and when ready — laughter.
