yes

…is a beautiful word.

yes it does hurt my feeling when I understand that nobody wants to know me when they see how I look right now. Please understand that I am still in a transitional phase and that I am anticipating it will last for at least another two months. Underneath everything else that has been going on for the last few years, I have gotten older. At least I look like a human being, which I really didn’t before.

Obviously God does not tune up pretty for sick work which is continuing.

My chore tonight is to replace about 70 pounds of desperately old clothing, which I was wearing like a uniform, much of it 10 years old or older, with some altogether new things in a new style on a tight budget. Meanwhile I am praying for the Lord to finally take some of this weight off. I have waited and waited for 25 years. That is why I have to go super economical and limit what I buy. It is not exactly a pleasure.
