Yes. I was lost, first to a weird-ass fringe religion in my youth and then, to get away from that, lost twenty-plus years in a blurred alcoholic haze. Writing eventually found me through the clarity of sobriety. No regrets for any of this. All part of the journey.
2. Quite a journey! I know comparison to other people does no good. At the same time, I get glimpses of so many people's lives that make me think how easy I've had it.
3. Have you thought about sharing some of your journey via FIELD GUIDE? I can 99% guarantee Skyler would be excited about that.
Like Isaiah, you sacrificed something that was dear to you to show your devotion to God, but it was restored to you after you proved your willingness to give it up.

Thank you for sharing this, Jeff. Glad God spoke through the madness of human interpretation.
Or perhaps human need broke through religious madness? There are multiple ways to interpret this one!
There are, yes!

The beauty of stories is that they can be interpreted in many different ways.
