With all the crass mean ways in this world especially now sometimes answered prayer comes in a form unexpected like cyber cathedrals in the most unlikely places. I drew a baby deer for an ex-deer of mine. The drawing lines full of angst on the human hands hint at the deep vortex of underlying emotion from such events in a person's life. The deer not anatomically correct still conveys the purpose. Do you throw away all that was good for the short time all that was bad caused by a lutheran church? Do you punish the victim over and over again or pound on the perpetrators of purveyors of unholy rings as the wagner cycle. The biggest and worst monsters are found in churches especially among the clergy. The picture tells what I chose to do and continue to do to those who claim one thing and actually follow another... and then put the most unholy people in authority ...tell me which fruit of the spirit do we have globally now....

So, my 8 year aniversary should come around sometime this week and I want to take the opportunnity to say thank you to the community and TOT.

I joined when I was 13 and TEF has always been a big part of my life. I'm sure my story is shared by many other people in this communtiy, but TEF has shaped me significantly in so many ways and that's something that cannot be replaced. It helped me deal with my depression and anxiety, continues to fuel my creativity more than anything else, helped me make most of my closest friends, and simply made me a better person as a whole.

I hope to continue contributing to the community and giving back what I've been given.
