Beneath the Wraps

          Last night Richard was approached by an unhoused woman who said she had not eaten for two days and would he be able to help her out.   We did happen to have some leftover food in the car.   He gave her the part we hadn’t eaten and she went on her way.   She reminded me of the unhoused woman mentioned at the end of this post.   One week into the pandemic and not all people were certain of how serious it was.   Masks and social distancing were not yet enforced everywhere.   Jaime and I could hear the homeless woman singing and Jaime decided to join her and made a tiktok video of the two of them singing “This is Me” from The Greatest Showman . I remember how Jaime looked at her as an equal and had not passed any judgement.   I knew she was standing too close for Carol’s liking.

And on June 3 (a year after Joh ’ s mom had passed) Corey wrote that: “ Jasper represents a hope for a different outcome”.

               Too often I will get several interruptions whenever   I am trying to read (any book I'm interested in) or write a post for my blog.   I failed to go into detail with my last post.   It was there when I initially sat down to create it.   After four or five interruptions I read what I had and felt satisfied that it was passable – but it does seem to be uncompleted as there are no examples.   I will now share the example that brought to mind the subject of ministering angels (aside from the latest read in the Come Follow Me Doctrine and Covenants schedule).             Over the years Corey has posted many things on facebook that have touched me – his latest with his experience of a cat whom he and Joh named Milagro.   I don’t have either of their permission to share their story but will do so without it.  (If either would like me to take it dow...
