Hello everyone. This is Refried. Today is Sunday, May 11. I went to one of my churches today and it was amazing. Way to go Jackie, it is amazing how you persevered.  Wow, the church burned down, many of us left, but a lot of people kept it going.  That is awesome and maybe I will stay there. I mean I don't know, because as I told them, I am not an exact match.  I really am an evangelical and to me that is one of the primary justice issues that some northern churches seem too proud to participate in.  But I also believe that the liberalism really was an expression of the same christianity as what we did in the south.  So usually I can see it and am happy to cooperate.

Anyway, that was a tangent.  I don't know if that was good to say because wow church was great and I am glad I went.

Will I totally leave Echo church. Maybe. I do not know.  Possibly I have freedom as a shut-in during the digital age.

So okay. One good thing about this church is that it helps me be mindful of Israel and the middle east.

Anyway, tomorrow I take a train to SC. I need to call a taxi and arrange a ride. I think today is Gilbert's day off. So I will wait and call tomorrow.  That is taking a chance and I could be wrong but frankly I am just observing boundaries whenever I can.

I have to pack my bag which will be small and I might take my computer. But I don't have wheels on my bag so do I want to carry two heavy bags. Possibly not.

One idea is to take the light pack it bag empty until penn station and then fill it with snacks.

I could also pack the computer in the duffel so all the weight is in one bag. I think that is what I will do.

And then on the train I put the computer in the light bag with the snacks.

Does anyone agree with that.

What time should I leave? Are you guys saying 10 oclock? I think that is good.

It will be hard to wake up early.

I think I am in a good place mentally.

Well, that is all for now. I will write more soon.
