Fourth Week of Easter

Dear Jack,

Things are going well for me. I've had a great joy in being able to speak openly about my Love on this journal. I will admit that I have not been so diligent as my Love's brother had infiltrated my journal, and since my Love was not out to his family, it was unsafe. He is now out, and so I should take up this discipline again.

New stuff going on...I hang out with my Love all the time. He stays the night on Thursdays and Saturdays, and we attend church together. His church has become aware of his sexuality, and not much has come of it. He intends to write a letter dealing with the situation, and knows he will probably not be apart of that congregation. Luckily there are other congregations open to him.

I have financial assistance finally arriving from my church and family. I am very blessed that this is finally happening. I was very worried for a while that I would not have the ability to stay in school or in NYC for the summer. Luckily all is taken care of.

I will be beginning CPE on May 30 at Bellevue Hospital in NYC. It should prove to be a challenging blessing. We'll see how it goes.

This Friday will be the Schola Chorus concert here on the close. I hope some friends show up for it. I have also taken the initiative and invited my Love's Mom. It may be too fast for her, but I wanted to at least invite her, and start making steps for reconciliation. She already has given me two boxes of Matzah...not sure why, but I have found them tasty with peanut butter... a good healthy snack for which I am grateful.

Right now I am delaying writing some papers that I have due tomorrow. I just don't feel like writing about the priesthood based on John Chrysostom's thoughts. I probably will put the finished paper on the web here. You'll see how "riveting" it can be.

Well that is all for now. I love being with my Love, and I look forward to a rewarding life together.
