Scott is 9y and in LA with his actor father for 3 days at Christmas. He misses being with his Mom Lenore. Daniel has Serena as girlfriend and isn’t home much.

Her initial surrender to Him had grown n2 a fierce, protective love. .. It was her own love 4 Him she jealously guarded, and she was ruthless in dispatching anything that came in the way of that. Her prayers were passionate, hot, and all consuming. She held nothing back. She was His, and the knowledge filled her w/ a hot joy, a surging peace wilder than any thrashing river.

Better. Church school and a job with a doc. Friends too.
