As the stomach turnsWednesday, May 30, 2007
The cheapest one they had was around $150, and now I need to purchase it outright.
The one I had was probably double that, but came "free" because of the longer contract.
So this morning I called all the pawnbrokers in town and no one had seen such a phone yet this week.
So it probably isn't going to be pawned.
Probably ends up in a garbage can some place.
Sheesh. That is frustrating.
And now I get to lock my office door every Sunday while I'm in the place too.

Wow, a 3 year phone plan :o I am rather shocked I've never heard of one that long before.ReplyDelete
It tends to be 12 or 18 months here and even then by about 9 months the operator will have probably called you up trying to get you to commit to another year or so.
Did you try calling your phone and asking for it back?ReplyDelete
Sorry, I mean a two year term. Sheesh.ReplyDelete
Nope. I lied, it was a three year term, and wow are you ahead of us or what!ReplyDelete
yeah Kevin, first thing I did.
It said the phone was still off. So I had my company shut it down immediately.
She probably ditched it.
I hate when people steal your stuff and throw it out. This has happened to me more than once and I hate it. It's bad enough to get stolen from and someone else profits from your possessions, but when no one profits it feels even worse. So pointless. (I suppose in the end, no one ever really profits though do they?)ReplyDelete

The 12 Most Romantic Restaurants in New York City
Whether you've been together for years or are cozying up to someone new, here are 12 restaurants in New York City proving that a romantic setting and incredible meals are the best way to someone's heart.
Let this pint-sized, all-day eatery transport you from the West Village to Paris with its charming decor (think marble bar, tiny candlelit tables, vintage flatware) and classic bistro menu (think croissants, steak tartare, and coq a vin) by Jody Williams. Given its snug size and popularity, Buvette crowds up quickly—giving you all the more reason to get closer to your companion. 42 Grove Street, 212-255-3590, newyork.ilovebuvette.com
Gramercy Tavern
Whether you opt for more casual bites and drinks in the Tavern—nab a coveted seat at the bustling bar if you can—or go for a more formal meal in the Dining Room, you'll be rewarded with friendly service, vibrant fresh floral displays, and hearty yet refined cooking by Chef Michael Anthony. Another perk? Owner and restaurateur Danny Meyer has eliminated tipping from all of his establishments, so you can let the wine really flow. 42 East 20th Street, 212-477-0777, gramercytavern.com
La Grenouille
While the decor of this family-owned midtown French restaurant couldn't be any more romantic—thanks to deep red banquettes, mirrored walls, and the famously lush floral arrangements—what keeps the dining room packed night after night is the kitchen's commitment to classic, time-tested dishes like buttery Dover sole, silky foie gras terrine, and light-as-air soufflés. 3 East 52nd Street, 212-752-1495, la-grenouille.com
Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior and relatively quiet pocket of Williamsburg, because this highly acclaimed Italian restaurant by Missy Robbins is a sure bet. In true Brooklyn fashion, the design is understated but chic, with a wood-beamed ceiling, concrete floors, and white walls. While the space is certainly a looker, handmade pastas by Robbins (like her Rigatoni Diavola and Pink Peppercorn Mafaldini) are ultimately what keep Lilia packed all the time. 567 Union Avenue, Brooklyn, 718-576-3095, ilianewyork.com
The Polo Bar
First off, reservations are a must—you can't enter the restaurant without one—so simply being here feels exclusive. Then there's the handsome space, kitted out with tan leather banquettes, emerald green walls, and, in true Ralph Lauren fashion, equestrian-inspired art. The menu favors American comforts, as evidenced by the best-selling, bacon and cheese-topped Polo Burger. Pro tip: it's so generously sized, it's great for sharing. 1 East 55th Street, 212-207-8562, ralphlauren.com
Though the interiors of this Soho mainstay haven't changed much in over 40 years—imagine quirky original artwork, pink neon, and black tin ceilings—it's still one of the city's most beloved date spots. And in contrast to its bustling neighborhood, Raoul's feels warm and inviting. You can't go wrong with the signature steak au poivre or frisee salad, and if you can't secure a table, the bar is also terrific for cozying up with someone (and snagging one of the 12 burgers available every night). 180 Prince Street, 212-966-3518, raouls.com
The tricky (and fun) part is finding the unmarked door. But once you do, you'll be led to your own private wooden booth draped in bamboo curtains. After perusing the menu of savory Japanese small plates (like homemade tofu and shrimp tempura), tap the buzzer on your table when you're ready to order (and anytime else you need your server). It's such a wholly unique and intimate experience, it's easy to forget that you're not dining alone. 77 North 6th Street, 718-388-8985, zenkichi.com
Il Buco
This Nolita Italian spot evokes the charm of a rustic farmhouse. Dark wood, exposed brick, and pots and pans hangjust about everywhere. And the cuisine is just as comforting and cozy. The artisanal pastas shift with the seasons, but the popular Tuscan black kale salad with anchovy lemon vinaigrette remains on the menu year-round. 47 Bond Street, 212-533-1932, ilbuco.com
One If By Land, Two If By Sea
Set in a historic 1767 carriage house once owned by Aaron Burr, this West Village institution exudes romance with candlelit tables, a crackling fireplace, live piano music, and decadent prix fixe menus. Not surprisingly, it remains one of the city's most popular places to pop the question since opening in 1973. 17 Barrow Street, 212-255-8649, oneifbyland.com
The River Cafe
Come sunset and evening, the views of the Hudson River, Brooklyn Bridge, and Manhattan skyline are nothing short of breathtaking. They're matched by the serene ambiance, faultless service, and delicious New American cuisine by chef Brad Steelman. While gentlemen are expected to wear jackets and ties at dinner, daytime dining is a breezier affair. When the weather is warm, request a table on the patio. 1 Water Street, Brooklyn, 718-522-5200, rivercafe.com
Le Bernardin
For more than 20 years, Eric Ripert has won over critics and discriminating diners alike with his sophisticated, artful approach to seafood. While the main dining room focuses on a more formal experience—jackets are required for gentlemen, and only tasting menus are offered—the adjacent lounge is a smart (and equally delicious) spot for casually lingering over oysters, caviar, and wine from the impressive 15,000-bottle collection. 155 West 51st Street, 212-554-1515, le-bernardin.com
Sushi Azabu
To get to this tiny, jewel box of a sushi restaurant in Tribeca, you'll be led through another restaurant called Azabu, through a cascade of curtains, and down some narrow steps. As fresh fish is flown in from Japan daily, be assured that every meticulously formed bite will be clean, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Bypass the tables and treat yourself to views of the highly skilled chefs at the nine-seat sushi bar. 428 Greenwich Street, 212-274-0428, sushi-azabu.com

Chain Reaction is a concentrated blend of amino acids (Branched Chained Amino Acids) consisting of Leucine, Iso-Leucine, and Valine. This product is designed to help athletes of all levels from high school to the professional competitors.
BCAA block's a message to the brain signaling fatigue giving athletes the ability to prolong endurance in their workout, while serving as fuel for the muscles. This process allows for muscle proteins to be spared during post-exercise recovery.
Studies have shown that Chain Reaction will also help the athlete's body to bounce back at a faster rate, promoting ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), which carry energy to the cells that help the metabolism. Chain Reaction is also great for its anti-catabolic ability (muscle breakdown prevention) and its anabolic presence that helps promote the building of lean muscle.
Supplement Facts:
6 grams BCAAs per serving!
3 g Leucine
1.5 g Isoleucine
1.5 g Valine
60 servings per container
Melinda Spencer uses Chain Reaction to help her recover from an extremely demanding training and professional schedule. She is a highly competitive Cross Fit athlete, elite OCR athlete, pro figure and pro bikini competitor, business professional, fitness model, author, internet radio host, mom, and is finishing a second MBA with 4.0 grade point average. Melinda relies on P4P Muscle supplements like Chain Reaction, Iso Whey, and Alter Ego Extreme to help her be at the top of her game.
"Who doesn't love cotton candy? P4P muscle chain reaction BCAA's cotton candy is amazing. I have tried other BCAA's from other companies but none have compared to the taste of the cotton candy. I love the taste and the benefits to help repair my muscles in a shorter amount of time. If you haven't yet tried the cotton candy you need too." – Jordan Bork

} Crude higher ahead of supply report Also: Cotton softens; natural gas fades By Cecily Fraser, CBS MarketWatch Last Update:
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Crude oil futures were higher Tuesday as the market hoped to battle its way back from 12-year lows.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, February crude oil rose 10 cents to $11.12 a barrel.
The one component helping the volatile market to erase some of the bearish sentiment of the supply glut is the possibility of an emergency meeting to reduce production. OPEC is set to gather at its regularly scheduled meeting in March, however the buzz on the trading floor suggests that if the market continues to fall, oil producers may be forced to initiate more talks.
In April of 1986, Nymex futures traded as low as $9.75 a barrel.
Meanwhile, the American Petroleum Institute is set to release its weekly inventory report after Tuesday's close. Most players are expecting to see an increase in supplies.
Cotton bails as usage falls
March cotton came under some pressure from a Census Bureau report which showed monthly cotton consumption down by a greater-than-expected 9.3 percent in November. This came on top of an estimate from the National Cotton Council projecting that November cotton usage fell to10.233 million bales from 10.958 million bales the prior month. On the New York Cotton Exchange, March cotton fell 0.59 to 61.23 cents a pound.
Supply levels tug at natural gas
Despite the arrival of cold winter temperatures this week, January natural gas fizzled. The record amount of gas in storage is hindering any upward movement as most analysts contend that even with brisk weather, gas stocks will most most likely be at large levels at the end of the homeowner heating season. On the Merc, January natural gas fell 2.2 cents to $1.925 per BTU.
The American Gas Association will release its weekly inventory data after Wednesday's close, and should provide the market with a clearer picture of supply.
OJ rises on frosty weather
January frozen orange juice ripened on reports of chilly temperatures in orange growing regions of California. This poses some risk to the fruit, as near freezing conditions could result in damage to crops. On the New York Cotton Exchange, January frozen orange juice rose 0.60 cents to $1.0350 a pound. While the market's core centers around Florida oranges, Florida does get some of its chilled juice from California.
CRB index post small gains
The Bridge/Commodity Research Bureau Index , a broad-based measure of 17 commodities' futures markets rose 0.4 percent to 189.11, thanks to a rise in crude oil and orange juice. The index has been languishing at 21-year lows due to deflationary pressure in the commodities sector.
March copper rose 0.35 cents to 66.80 cents a pound. March silver rose 0.13 cents to $4.918 an ounce. March palladium fell $1 to $310.90 an ounce. January platinum fell 80 cents to $343.20 an ounce. February gold fell $1.20 to $289 an ounce.
January heating oil rose 0.16 cents to 31.90 cents a gallon. January unleaded gasoline fell 0.09 cents to 32.95 cents a gallon.
February live cattle fell 0.100 cents to 58.550 cents a pound. March feeder cattle closed unchanged at 67.400 cents a pound. February pork bellies rose 0.150 cents to 41.500 cents a pound. February lean hogs fell 0.125cents to 28.400 cents a pound and
March cocoa rose $28 to $1,421 a ton. March coffee rose 0.50 cents to $1.1605 a pound. March sugar rose 0.06 cents to 7.58 cents a pound. March wheat fell 1.6 cents to $2.766 per contract. March corn closed unchanged at $2.190 per contract. January soybeans fell 4.0 cents to $5.452per contract.

Quarter Newsletter - June 2016
Ministry Insights
by Steve Crigger
Welcome to the 8th issue of the Twickenham Newsletter. There is so much going on at this church and other items in the works, it is hard to report it all. This issue will not achieve that goal, but will provide information and insights for several ministry areas within Twickenham where people are serving God, helping others and making a difference in people's lives. If you see an area where you would like to be a part, email the ministry lead or let me know. We want everyone in this congregation to have opportunities to use their gifts to serve God.
I also want to make sure everyone knows of our next Twickenham trip to Israel. Our trip, led by Dr. Eric Cohu and myself, will cover significant locations in Israel, including the beautiful Sea of Galilee, the area where much of Jesus' ministry took place. We will visit the Dead Sea and follow the Messiah's steps in the ancient city of Jerusalem.1
The tour (March 9-18, 2017) will consist of 7 nights stay in some of Israel's finest hotels and include many historical, archeological, and Biblical sites. If you are interested and would like to learn more, email me.2
Elder's Note: Strategic Resources for Aging Well
Ken Smith
Life is a journey. For most of us there are plenty of peaks and valleys, many moments of joy, satisfaction, enlightenment and exhilaration, but also seasons of difficulties and challenges. All of us need preparation for our journey. As an example, most of us at some point in our lives will find ourselves in the role of caregiver to a family member. Some of us will be primary caregivers, others will be part of a caregiver team.
Caring for loved ones is often a blessing and an opportunity to grow in many aspects of our lives, but at times, overwhelming demands may affect a caregiver's physical, spiritual or emotional well-being. It is not uncommon for caregivers to occasionally feel anger, frustration, and then grow anxious or guilty for those feelings.
The Shepherds at Twickenham are planning a series of classes for this fall that provide information, strategies and connections to resources that3
provide assistance to present-day and future caregivers. The classes will address transition to a role of caregiver as a call to ministry, the role of the church, how to get the family on the same page, or what to do if that is not possible. We will talk about coping skills for being effective as a caregiver and taking care of yourself as a priority.
We hope to include experts from the community that will provide advice on the legalities of aging, as well as medical advice from doctors or nurses, and experts who can assist with strategies for coping with difficult behavior patterns from the aging, including people with dementia and other serious illness. We will discuss options beyond independent living, community resources, and managing change well. We are looking for insight to help us understand the special awareness, needs and communication with people as they reach end of life. We will have a class that addresses the importance of and other aspects of grieving. The final class will provide insight from Psalms, Proverbs and other wisdom literature.4
If you have traveled this road as caregiver and would like to share your insights, or if you know of medical, legal or community resources that could assist the class formulation, please contact us. We are also looking for resources that can help us advertise the opportunity to the community and other coordination work.
We ask you to pray for those who are formulating this series of classes, for those who will participate or benefit from the classes and for God to be glorified by this ministry.5
Hacienda of Hope – Restoring Families
Jauna Reeger
The Hacienda of Hope is a place that not only offers behavioral therapy and other services to the children we care for, but we also work together with families in order to be able to reunite them with their children. This is not a simple task. There is so much work that must be done by both sides. But. All of the hard work, sweat, and tears is so worth it when we are able to reunite families once again.
Baby Maía Noemí was brought to the Hacienda in February, two days after she was born, having been abandoned by her mother in the local hospital. Her beauty and calmness enamored us all within hours. At just two days old she had suffered an unimaginable loss, through no fault of her own. However, about a week after she came to us, her mother appeared. The question we had all been pondering–how could a mother do this to her child?–was suddenly answered. She was young, beautiful, scared and lonely. It was a bad decision, she told us. A mistake. Because of the risk of placing Maía6
back with the very woman who had abandoned her, we began to work with her grandparents on the possibility of giving them custody of Maía. In a short period of time we determined that Maía's grandparents have the resources and the desire to raise their granddaughter, while her mother will continue visiting her and being a part of her life. Although we will miss Maía, we are so grateful that she will be able to grow up with her family.
The Hacienda of Hope is a place that cares for children that come from broken families. However, it is also a place that helps put these broken families back together. With a little hard work, a lot of love, and the grace of God, we have been able to place 7 children back with their families in the last six months. We have seen how their time at the Hacienda and God's love has forever impacted their lives. It is exciting to work with the families once the children have been returned to their homes and watch God move mountains many thought would never budge.7
Coach Cohu & Israel Football
Eric Cohu
In just a few short days, I'll be leaving to spend the summer in Israel, and I can't help but think about the first time I went to the Holy Land 12 years ago. Excited and nervous, and certainly not knowing what to expect, I had the experience of a lifetime. I vowed that, God permitting, I would go again. Little did I know that I would indeed go back many times, and that I would one day be working full-time with the Israeli Football League! It's amazing what God has in store for our lives.
This summer I'll be coaching football in Israel, training their National Team for competition in Italy in early September. Though we have much preparation on the gridiron over the next several weeks, the most exciting part will be spending time with my family in Israel and continuing to develop relationships with Israelis.
Most people who know me certainly know that I'm a Zionist. What might not be as well understood is8
that my reasons for this are not political in nature. It is not politics, but my faith in God, His Son and His Word, that has led me to Israel.
Just as I believe that the prophecies of Jesus' birth, ministry, and resurrection had to be fulfilled, I also believe that those passages concerning His return must and will be realized. My work is an effort to honor the host of passages that deal with God's re-gathering of the Jewish people to their homeland in the Last Days for His redemptive purposes. Paul references those prophesies and promises in Romans 10-11, teaching us that God is not done and His Word has NOT failed. His plan WILL BE accomplished.
Many people ask me questions regarding my actual job. We will be conducting the training camps in Modi'in twice weekly. Most of the players have full-time jobs so we schedule practices around work schedules. Also, I'll be teaching at the Wingate Institute (Israel's "sports college"), preparing coaches for the upcoming season. It's a great opportunity to build relationships with many Israelis9
and work with their organizations and institutions. In addition, and most importantly, I'll be able to interact with growing congregations throughout the country as I continue to allow God to open doors.10
Outreach Focus
Steve Clark
God's word reminds us of the importance of taking care of widows, the fatherless, the weak, and those outside our normal circle. Jesus talks about the importance of taking care of children and humbling ourselves like a little child to enter the kingdom of God. This summer we highlight three wonderful opportunities show God's love to widows and children in need within our local community.
Widow Lawn Care: Tracy Pollard leads the Widow Lawn Care ministry based on contacts he receives through CASA. Tracy says, "The main goal of the Widow Lawn Care ministry is to glorify God through service and honor to widows. We develop relationships with our widows and minister to them through prayer and support for their needs. We need some more good men. CASA has received calls from many more widows that are not yet being served." Tracy and his team have huge hearts for serving others and giving glory to God. Lawn mowers and supplies are furnished, and you have the11
flexibility to either after work one afternoon or on the weekend at your convenience.
This ministry helps these widows maintain their independence and dignity and reminds them of God's commitment to care for them through His people. These ladies are so grateful for the service they receive, but especially for the prayers and the smiles. Contact Tracy Pollard at 256-698-8078 or email her if you can help serve with the Widow Lawn Care even one time this summer.
Christian Summer Camp: The Christian Summer Camp is off to a great start! This camp is part of the Huntsville Inner City Learning Center (HICLC) ministry and our seventh annual camp started June 6th with 37 excited boys and girls. Over the next seven weeks our campers will participate in fun activities like gardening, choir, tennis, crafts, swimming and weekly field trips. They will sharpen their academic skills through regular reading, language arts and math sessions. And they will learn from daily Bible classes where our camp12
theme, "God's Plan for Us" will come to life through the stories of Old and New Testament characters. Our campers will also learn to say all of the books of the Bible, so if you have a chance to visit with them, just ask them to do so and you may be surprised at how quickly they learn!
We are so grateful for all of our volunteers who show Jesus to our campers each day by providing meals, reading with them, or sharing a hug. If you would like to join us, please come and read with a camper on Mondays from 2:30 - 3:00 at the HICLC building or Wednesdays from 5:00 - 5:30 at the Twickenham church building. You will be encouraged to see how the power of the Lord's hope is changing lives for these inner city kids. Contact Lauribeth White for more details.
Meals on Wheels: Cindy Thomason leads our Meals on Wheels team to deliver hot and nutritious lunch meals to seniors age 60 or over, who are unable to cook for themselves or have no one available to cook for them, and who are primarily homebound. Cindy prepares a monthly calendar to ensure our team13
covers each weekday of the month. You can pick your day to serve from available days, such as the 3rd Wednesday you first go to the Senior Center on Drake Avenue by 11:00 to pick up two insulated bags with the hot meals and cold milk and fruit items. Then you drive to Presbyterian Towers apartments, near Costco on Country Club Drive and deliver meals to the 8-12 senior men and women on our list. A cart is available at the Presbyterian Towers to hold the bags while you deliver the food within the building. You then return the insulated bags and list back to the Senior Center and you are finished.
These are the mechanics of service, but the real joys are the shared smiles and hugs, the wisdom and perspective of these seniors and the prayers of thanks and blessings for our time together. Cindy and her team bring passion and enthusiasm to brighten the day of these seniors. Meals on Wheels is the ideal ministry to take your children or a co-worker or friend along with you. Contact Cindy Thomason via email or the church office if you are interested in participating with Meals on Wheels.14
We are blessed by each of these ministries, and we strive to learn new and better ways to reach out to others with the good news of Jesus. We are fully reliant on the Spirit's leading in our outreach and service. Please share your passions and ideas for reaching others. You will encourage us all and bring glory to God!15
Jody Vickery
Can you handle a hard saying? Maybe it'll help if you know it's not original with me. Truth is, I can't remember where I heard it. But it is very direct. The rough edges have not been smoothed over by some public relations consultant. It has teeth. I mean, if you don't like to be punched in the nose, spiritually speaking, then maybe you should just move along. But if you are up for it, here goes . . .
Jesus didn't die on a cross just so we could sip coffee with a few friends and enjoy a sing-along on Sunday mornings.
In other words, your Christian faith and mine is not just a one-day-a-week activity. "Church" isn't an item on our calendars or a location on our phone maps. It is a way of life, 24/7/365. Does that mean attending Sunday church is unimportant? Of course not. The Bible (Hebrews 10:25), tradition and common sense all testify that if we want to grow in our faith, spending time with other believers in16
study, prayer and praise is essential.
But Sunday church is to the Christian life what the kick-off is to an Iron Bowl. It's the first pitch. The tip-off. The green flag at Talladega. It sends us off to "run the race marked out for us," (Hebrews 12:1), the rest of the week. Which means we are not spectators in the stands (or cushy seats in the sanctuary), but active participants in the contest.
One of the clearest indications that we are meant for more than just a pleasant Sunday morning sit-n-get or meet-n-greet, is the abundance of scriptures that teach about spiritual gifts. Passages like Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4 and 1 Peter 4, all describe an array of talents, aptitudes or abilities specially given to each Christian by the Spirit of God.
That includes you. God has given you some spiritual gift that infuses your life with divine purpose. You have a God-given knack and he wants you to use it serving others. What's more, God has given each of your brothers and sisters a gift as well – and he17
wants them to use their gifts to serve you! Imagine what might happen in our church, in our community if all of us shared our gifts with extravagant generosity! Beginning Sunday, June 26, we're going to begin a new sermon series titled, Gifted: Graced to Work. We'll discover what the Bible teaches about these spiritual gifts and how they can transform a Sunday-only-faith into a seven-day-a-week lifestyle.
I hope you'll make a special effort to be here – and bring a friend. Who knows what gifts lie hidden in the hearts of people you already know?18

Chennai, (IANS) Karnataka youngster Karun Nair (195 not out) and Ravichandran Ashwin (54 not out) continued to frustrate England as India posted 582/5 at tea, to take a slender 105-run lead on the penultimate day of the fifth and final cricket Test here on Monday.
Nair, who notched his maiden ton in the morning session of play, carried on to go past the 150-run mark as he and Ashwin forged a 147-run unbeaten stand for the sixth wicket to defy any inroads by the visitors at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here.
England part-timer Keaton Jennings, however, sniffed at getting Ashwin's wicket just before the stroke of tea, but the third umpire turned down the on-field umpire's decision when reviewed.
Brief Scores: England 477 vs India 582/5 (Lokesh Rahul 199, Karun Nair 195 not out, Ravichandran Ashwin 54 not out, Stuart Broad 1/55)

The Kitsap year has two seasons: pantry and farmers market! By May all the farmers markets are open around the county. The last market closes in December.
January is well and truly winter. Frosts have taken out the more delicate greens like lettuce, kale hangs on waiting for slightly more light and warmth. Fall planted crops will begin to yield in a month or two, but for now, the wet, cold, and dark makes for slow growing. The farmers markets are closed. Farm stores are still open though! Local food is available in Kitsap.
What's in Season
Milk, eggs, and meat
There's a reason northern peoples eat meat in winter! It's the easiest food to find. Fortunately our Kitsap dairies sell milk through a variety of farm stores. Eggs are less plentiful but still available. Farmers slaughter batches of chickens throughout winter to keep a fresh supply handy, and sell frozen beef, pork and lamb.
Squashes and roots
Hardy winter squashes keep well in cool temperatures. Beautiful pumpkins, acorn squash, and butternut squash can still be found on farm store shelves.
Huge heads of green and red cabbage, surviving brussels sprouts, and broccoli raab.
The hardiest roots are still out there – parsnips, beets, celeriac, and rutabaga.
Hearty winter meals
Pork chops, potatoes, and braised cabbage.
Egg fritatta with broccoli raab.
Chicken soup!

Chapter 151
Lucas smiled at his man, Josh smiling back with love.
"You're amazing, my love." he said, Lucas smiling, the young man standing in front of the fireplace.
"I'm only as amazing as the love that surrounds me" he said, Justin and Lance smiling at him and Josh, the three men seated together, their two chairs close.
Lucas' violet pools looked around the room, everyone relaxing, a lot of eyes meeting his.
They all still awaited Jefferson's return, the man having been gone for about ten minutes.
Grayson rose from his seat, Gabriel's blue eyes following his man as he walked up to the fireplace, Emerson looking at his friend as well.
"Lucas, there is something you need to know about Myles." the lawyer said, his blue pools meeting Lucas' violet orbs of watching love.
"Sacrifices are made when the heart holds a greater love than most." the young man said, Grayson's blue eyes staring at him.
"Their love is deep, Lucas." the man said, Emerson's green pools watching both men.
"I know, Gray. And the sacrifice made was one that never should have been made." Lucas said, Grayson's and Emerson's eyes widening in surprise.
Two other sets of eyes stared at Lucas.
Francesca moved from her seat, Tristan's green pools following her, his eyes also staring at the other three in front of the fireplace.
His son's violet pools met his green, Tristan seeing his son's showing love.
Francesca stood by her husband's chair, her hand going to his shoulder, Lucas staring into Isadora Belmont's blue pools, Lucas smiling at her.
"I feel your love, Grandmother Isadora. All have shared its beauty." he said, Isadora smiling at her grandson.
"I feel the greater love here, Lucas. Yours and your magic." she said, Lucas smiling at her.
"A gift of love I have given tonight, that gift reuniting two lost souls from the past." he said, Randall smiling at the young man, still seated with his family, his blue eyes filled with happiness.
"I cannot thank you enough for healing my heart of its lost memories, Lucas." he said, Lucas smiling at him.
"No thanks are needed when all my friends' and families' souls are free of their loss. Life regains its true paths. As will my second gift show." he said, Grayson staring at him.
"Second gift, Lucas?"
"It's Christmas, Grayson. It is a time of giving, of family and love. I shall make this the most loving of all for all of you. It starts tonight with healed hearts and showing truths."
Everyone stared at the young man, their thoughts and wonder interrupted by a noise.
All eyes turned to the room's closed door, a soft sound of tapping heard.
The door opened, Jefferson walking slowly into the room, another man beside him, his arm through his.
Everyone stared with surprise at the new visitor, Jefferson's eyes on the man's handsome face.
"We're in the receiving room, my love." Jefferson said, the handsome stranger's eyes covered by dark glasses, a white cane in his hand.
The tapping everyone had heard was the sound of that blind
man's cane as he walked to this room's entrance.
Tristan rose from his seat, the man walking up to the two, Emerson rising from his seat as well, he and Francesca, followed by Grayson, moved as well.
The man's head was looking around, everyone staring at him.
He was distinguished-looking, his face showing a rugged handsomeness, his age around Jefferson's age, mid to late fifties.
Everyone rose from their seats, staring at the two men, two other sets of eyes staring with emotion.
Randall stared at the two men, seeing his old friend's loving eyes and protective love surrounding the man.
Tristan stopped in front of the two, the blind man focusing on the man in front of him, sensing his presence.
"Hello, Myles." Tristan said, the other's man's face showing a soft look of emotion.
"Trist? Is that really you? Returned to all of us?" he said, his voice one of masculine authority.
Tristan smiled, the man's eyes showing a soft wetness.
"Yes, my old friend. I have walked back into my father's love."
The man smiled, Tristan moving, the two men hugging tightly.
Jefferson softly smiled, his eyes watching both.
The two parted, Myles' hands going to Tristan's face, feeling his masculine beauty.
"Still as beautiful as your remembered youth. The magic still flows."
Tristan smiled, looking towards his father.
"I am a Belmont, Myles. My love and beauty you well
The man smiled, looking around again.
"Where is the old tiger?" he said, Emerson moving forward, his hand going to the man's shoulder.
"I am here, Myles. I was always here." he said, the other man softly smiling.
"I feel another of just as giving love, Emerson. The magic is whole. Isadora?" he softy said, Francesca's hand going to his other shoulder.
"I am here, Myles. The magic drew me back to his love." she said, the man smiling.
"A family joined again, their love unbreakable. Gray's words rung true." he said, Grayson smiling at the man.
"What words, Myles?" he said, the man smiling towards his voice.
"Still at Emerson's side, bastion of law, friend of life."
Grayson smiled.
"Yes, old friend. Still within his love."
The man smiled, looking around the room again.
"So many years, so many moments. I feel the old place's thoughts. And I feel a new presence." he said, Emerson's hand patting his shoulder.
"The old place missed you, Myles. You could have always walked back into its love." he said, the man's head lowering.
"To have done that would have drawn the evil, Emerson. You, most of all, know that." he said, Emerson nodding.
"Friendship would have joined us together, Myles. Your heart knows no greater need."
The man nodded, looking around again.
"Is he here?"
The five surrounding the man looked at each other, Jefferson's arm going around the man further.
"Is who here, my love?"
"The one of the voice, the one of the touch." he said, his eyes moving around again.
"What do you mean, Myles?" Grayson said.
The man looked around again, moving forward, his cane tapping in front of him, Jefferson moving with him.
Lucas moved from the fireplace, the young man walking to him, the two stopping in front of him in front of Emerson's vacated chair.
"Hello again, Myles." Lucas said, the man suddenly trembling.
"It. . .it is. . .my heart's hope?" he said, Lucas' hand going gently to the man's shoulder.
"Yes, my friend. I can open your heart to the real love."
The man suddenly sobbed, then collapsed, Lucas' arms going around him, Jefferson's face changing to deep concern, Lucas gently guiding the man to Emerson's chair, setting him down gently.
Jefferson was beside him, his face deeply emotional.
"This has been too much, my love. You need rest!" he said, Lucas' violet pools looking up at him.
"He is stronger than all of us, Abraham. For his greatest strength is his courage and love." Lucas said, his family surrounding him and the man, Tristan's green pools looking down at his son.
"What's going on, Lucas?" he said, the young man rising from his crouching position, staring at his father and grandfather.
"Life is going on, Father." Lucas said, the blind man's covered eyes looking up at the two men.
"He. . .he is. . .he's your son, Trist?" he said, Lucas staring down at the man.
"I am a Belmont, Myles. And I am a Carlisle. And my love is the answer."
"It. . .it cannot be!" he softly said, Jefferson staring at his partner.
"Are you alright, Myles?" he said, Lucas smiling down at both men.
"He's alive, Abraham. No evil could ever destroy his magical soul."
Jefferson looked shocked, staring at his man.
"What. . .what do you mean?" he said, Myles' hand going into his, Jefferson staring at his soulmate.
"He is the one, Abe. And he's seen into my soul."
Lucas smiled, staring down at the man.
"Welcome to my love, Myles. And my family now is whole."
Everyone stared at Lucas, Josh now at his side, Justin and Lance there as well.
"I feel your love, my friends. And I feel so much more." he said, the three exchanging glances.
The man seated before them staring upwards, his glasses-covered eyes moving between the four.
"I feel a great love before me." he softly said, Lucas smiling at him.
"You feel all love, dear friend." he said, the man softly smiling.
"What's going on here, Lucas?" Tristan said, Lucas' violet pools meeting his father's green.
"The path as always, Father. And something more."
Emerson walked up to his grandson, Isadora at his side.
"You have us all at a disadvantage, my grandson. You seem to know more than we." he said, Lucas smiling at him with love.
"I know all, Grandfather. And I've found the underlying love." he said, staring at the man before him.
"I have found love, courage, sacrifice, evil, goodness and life. And tonight I rectify all that are lost. In their giving love, in their needful love and in their misguided love. The greater love needs to shine. And magic, love and life need to find their true path."
Everyone stared at the young man, lost in all his confusing words.
Lucas smiled, looking around at everyone.
"Sit down, my family and my life. Tales need to be voiced, paths need to be seen." he said, everyone nodding, moving back to their seats, Emerson guided by his wife to hers, the two sitting down with their children.
Lucas smiled at Myles and Jefferson, Jefferson rising to his feet.
"What's going on here, sir? What did Myles mean about a voice and a touch?" he said, Lucas smiling at him.
"I told you it's Lucas, Abraham. And your soulmate I've met before."
Jefferson looked shocked, others showing surprise as well.
Lucas moved, the young man picking up a chair that stood empty beside his soulmates, the young man smiling at everyone now seated again, the young man moving the chair beside Emerson's chair, the man smiling at Myles, then at Jefferson.
"Sit down, Abraham. Your man's love needs yours." he said, Jefferson slowly sitting down in the offered chair, his hand going into Myles' beside him, Lucas looking at both men.
"First off, you need to introduce yourself, Myles." he smiled, the man seated before him staring at Lucas.
"My name is Myles. I was a former employee of this estate's greatness once." he said, Emerson looking at him.
"You still are, Myles. You are a part of this place's soul." Emerson said, Lucas smiling at his grandfather.
"My grandfather holds you in high regard, sir." he said, Myles looking up at him, his covered eyes going towards Emerson's voice.
"I am nothing of importance, Emerson. I am half of what I was." he softly said, Jefferson's blue pools staring at his man's face.
Lucas saw the look of deep love on his grandfather's, grandmother's and father's staring faces.
"You are my life, my love." Jefferson said, Lucas stared at the two.
"He is more, Abraham. He is your destiny, as you are his. And he is so much more."
"What am I but a broken man, sir? I have been clouded in darkness for half my life."
"You have been surrounded in love, courage, sacrifice and life, kind sir."
The man's handsome face stared at Lucas, the young man moving, walking up to the fireplace, staring at the portrait still sitting on the mantle.
"Thank you for divulging its hidden place, Myles. I have given the gift." he said, Myles' hand squeezing Jefferson's, Jefferson staring at him.
"You. . .you gave Lucas my painting?" he said, the man slowly nodding.
"Yes, Abe. I gave him the answer to freeing your soul." he said, Jefferson looking at Lucas, then back at Myles.
"You. . .you two have met before?" he said, Lucas looking down at the two seated men.
"No, Abraham. We have only talked for the briefest of moments." Lucas said, Myles staring towards him.
"He called me three days ago from America, Abraham. He wanted my advice on how to heal your heart, and your old friend's heart as well." Myles said, everyone staring with surprise at Lucas, Josh rising from his chair again, walking up to his man.
"How is that possible, Lucas?" he said, his hand going to his man's shoulder, Lucas' violet pools staring at him.
"Because my love feels all, my love. I felt the hidden truth here the last time I was here. I felt the love denied, the love hidden and the truth hidden." he said, everyone looking at him with surprise.
"That was months ago, Luke! You've known all this since then?" Finn said, Lucas looking at his friend.
"Yes, Finny. Not the trueness of the lost souls or the hidden truth. But paths moved, and I connected the missing pieces. Paths walked and such." he said, Josh staring at his man.
"You are amazing, my love." he said, Lucas smiling at him.
"That's beginning to get old, my love. I am just myself. I am the weaver of the quilt of love. I bind all threads." he said, Josh smiling at him.
"I love you, weaver of my heart."
Lucas smiled, kissing his lips.
"Sit down in our love, my love." he said, Josh nodding, returning to his seat.
Lucas' violet pools looked around, his eyes meeting Randall's.
"I mended the past, as I said I would, Myles. The painting brought their friendship together again." Lucas said, waving towards Randall, the man rising and walking up to Lucas.
"They have found their past and their souls have healed?" Myles said, Lucas nodding at Randall.
The man moved, kneeling down in front of Jefferson and Myles.
"Hello, Myles. I am Randall, Abraham's lost friend. Lucas has given our hearts our greatest joy again. Our friendship is found again." he said, taking Myles' other hand in his, Myles smiling at Randall.
"His heart was always lost without your friendship, Randall. He talked often of you and what you gave him in his youth--a hope and a dream of a truer life. You were his first love and you were his friend. I am glad that you are in his life again." he said, Randall smiling at Jefferson, seeing the man's blue eyes locked on his soulmate's face.
"I am his friend, I see that you are his love. My heart warms to know he's found love." Randall said, Abraham smiling at him.
"Thank you. He is my life." Myles said, Jefferson tearing up.
Randall stood up again, smiling at Lucas.
"Thank you for showing me their love, Lucas. Thank you for giving me my friend back."
Lucas smiled, Randall returning to his seat.
Lucas' violet pools looked around the room, everyone seeing a soft change coming over his handsome face, the young man's face showing a look of determination and thoughtful pause.
Josh stared at his man, sensing the young man was steeling himself against a forthcoming truth.
Lucas sighed, his body turning, his violet pools staring into the flames before him in the fireplace.
"For love, for truth, for all, I walk the path of life." he softly said, all hearing him.
He turned back, everyone now seeing his pools were green, the young man having slipped on his golden ring.
"I have not shown the truer love, Randall. The truer love both of these courageous men have denied each other."
Jefferson stood up, staring at Lucas.
"I have never denied Myles my love, Lucas. We are of one soul." he said, Lucas smiling at him.
"You are both one of courage, Abraham. But you are both walking separate paths. Both of guilt and both of selfless sacrificial love. I am here to show the truth and show the greater love. It starts with the greater love shining here. A love of family, of togetherness and of my life." he said, his violet pools staring at two other people in the room, one of them standing up.
"Go to your son, madam. He needs your love." he said, someone moving, walking up to the two, another following.
Mavis stared at Lucas, Horace's eyes showing deep emotion.
"You have walked him into danger, Lucas!" Horace said, Mavis' wet pools looking at Lucas.
"No, Horace. I think Lucas has walked him into life." she said, the woman's arms going around her son's seated form, Myles enveloped in her love, Horace's arms going around both.
Everyone stared in shock, the two older people now surrounding Myles, the man wrapped in his parents' love.
Jefferson stood up, staring at all three, then at Lucas.
"How could you have known that?!" he said, wonder showing on his face, Mavis looking up at Lucas.
"A parent's love radiates a deeper sensation within my magic, Abraham. I see many glows of maternal and paternal love around me. I deduced from their radiant glow their child was near." he said, Horace staring at the young man with wonder as well.
"Simply amazing!" he said, Lucas smiling at him.
Mavis broke her hold on her son, Myles kissing her cheek.
"I think this man sees into all souls, Mom." he said, Mavis kissing his cheek back.
"He sees our love for you, Myles." she said, her eyes looking at Lucas.
"Yes, Mavis. I see your love." he said, Mavis smiling at him, breaking her hold on her son, Horace's arm going around his wife.
"He is our son, Lucas. His love is giving, his life a path of pain. We three have been his rock." she said, smiling at Jefferson, the man smiling at Myles' parents.
"I know, dear lady. A family joined in their love for him." he said, his green pools meeting Randall's blue.
"Your Abe has had a life of family love, Randall. He found adoptive parents in these two." he said, Jefferson smiling at Randall.
"I'm glad, Abe. I see your now shown love for both of
The man smiled, Lucas looking at Mavis.
"And I see a greater destiny in their giving, loving souls." he said, Mavis staring at him.
"You are indeed deep within the magic, Lucas." she said, staring at him with wonder.
"Yes, dear cousin, I am."
Mavis nodded, her blue pools looking towards Harry.
"He is the one, sire." she said, Harry staring at Lucas.
"You are amazing, Lucas."
Lucas smiled, everyone showing their confusion.
"Meet another branch of my lost family, everyone. Before you stands Mavis Carlisle Hampton, her husband Horace, and her son Myles Hampton."
Finn rose to his feet, staring at all three.
"They're. . .they're Carlisles?!" he said, Lucas smiling at his friend's wonder-filled face.
"Yes, my friend. Family surrounds me on all sides." he said, Savannah, Vivian and their mother rising from their seats, both staring at him.
"How. . .how could you have known?" Francesca' returned face said, Lucas smiling at her.
"I feel the love within my heart, Grandmother. Your sister's love I feel radiating from her cuisine and her heart. And I feel the magic of all the Carlisles."
Mavis smiled, walking up to Lucas, staring into his green eyes.
"You are the one, Lucas. I see the love and magic within your eyes. It is greater than all of us." she said with emotion.
"She's. . .she's. . .she's Francesca's sister?" Finn said, Skyler rising to his side.
"We all figured that out by Luke's words, babe. Close your mouth." she said, Lucas lightly laughing at Finn's wonder-struck face.
"Calm your beast, Sky. The love shines as it must." he said, his green eyes returning to Mavis' blue pools.
"Hello, great aunt of my love." he smiled, Mavis tearing up, her arms going around the young man.
"You are love personified, Lucas! You are magic radiating!" she said, Lucas smiling, hugging her close, his eyes staring at Horace's smiling face.
"She has wanted to hug you since she met you, Lucas. She can now with revealed family love." he said, Lucas smiling at the doctor.
"I love all my family, Uncle Horace." he said, Horace smiling.
Mavis broke her embrace, staring into his green pools of love.
"I'm sorry, Lucas. We thought it best to hide our allegiances." she said, Lucas smiling at her.
"The evil of our times makes us weary of our surroundings, Aunt Mavis. I am here to destroy those doubts and that evil." he said, Francesca walking up to him, Lucas smiling at her.
"I offer all of our apologies, Lucas." she said, Lucas smiling at her and his family.
"No forgiveness is needed, no love unchanged. My family cannot hide from my love."
She smiled, kissing Lucas' cheek, her arm going around her sister's waist.
"Her love for myself guided her to stand by my Emerson's side while I was lost, Lucas. She loves him as I do." she said, Emerson smiling at his wife and sister-in-law.
"My grandfather won all of your love. His wife's, his sister-in-law and brother-in-law's and his treasured nephew's love." Lucas said, his eyes going to Myles' silent face.
"Perhaps the most giving of all souls." he said, his grandmother and great aunt staring at him.
Savannah walked up to her son, their eyes meeting, Vivian at her side.
"His love is unending, Lucas. It is as great as yours." she said, her violet pools looking towards Myles.
"Yes, Mom. And his love needs to shine. And Abraham's needs to as well. The cloaks of lost paths need to be removed." he said, everyone looking confused, Abraham staring at him.
"What are you talking of, Lucas?" he said, Lucas sighing again, the man's face changing, a look of soft compassion showing now.
"What's going on, Lucas?" Savannah said, Lucas staring into his mother's loving eyes.
"Deceit hides in many forms, Mom. The hidden love of this family is one form of deceit. But that deceit only shows its hidden love. I would never hold disdain for that hidden love. It is and will always be in my heart." he said, his family staring at him with love.
"Another deceit shows a greater pain. And I'm going to destroy that pain, and show the true love beneath it." he said, Savannah staring at her son with love.
"What deceit, Lucas?" she said, Lucas moving, walking away from the women of his family, all eyes on him.
He stood in front of Myles' chair, staring down at the man, his head moving from side to side.
"I feel your love, Lucas. You. . .you cannot know all of it." he softly said, Abraham staring at his lover.
"I feel even more love, now revealed cousin of my
heart. And I am here to ease your pain. I know all and even more."
Everyone saw the tears showing now on the man's cheeks, Lucas going to his knees in front of the man, taking his hands in his.
"You sacrificed all to have all, Myles. But another lays at the feet of this deception. The truer love must be shown. As must the monster behind all of it." Lucas said, his eyes moving up to Abraham's staring wet blue pools.
"I am that monster, Lucas. For I destroyed my soulmate's heart so long ago. And I have been trying to capture its lost love again for the last twenty-five years." he said, Lucas standing up, staring into the man's blue pools.
Randall moved, rising from his seat, going to his friend's side, his arm going around Jefferson.
"What's wrong, Abe?"
Jefferson's eyes met Randall's blue.
"Your friend lost his soul, Randy. He gave over his life's happiness for carnal lust. I destroyed my Myles' life and body with my own weakness." Jefferson sobbed, Myles staring up at him, his hand going in his.
"Our love is ours, my love. Your love gained my soul again. And this soul was just as lost as yours." he said, another voice joining the emotion.
"No soul was lost that was deceived. Two souls never lost the love beneath the pain. It's time that love showed its true beauty."
All eyes moved to Lucas' green pools, Jefferson and Myles staring at him with confusion.
"You both need to bare your souls, to see the greater truth. And the truer monster shall show itself."
"I. . .I cheated on Myles, Lucas! I destroyed our love!" Jefferson said, Randall looking surprised, the room blanketed in silence.
"No, Abraham. You were just a pawn in the monster's plans." Lucas said, Abraham staring at him.
"And your man's soul holds a greater secret." Lucas said, Myles staring up at him.
"You. . .you can't know!" he softly said, Lucas patting his knee.
"My magic knows all, Myles. And the monster deceived you both." he said, his green pools looking at Jefferson.
"Open your heart, Abraham. Let all of us see your courageous soul, and your giving love." Lucas said, Jefferson feeling a hand going into his.
"What is he talking of, Myles?" he softly said, Myles looking up at him.
"Tell our story, my love. And let us both open our hearts."
Jefferson nodded, staring down at his soulmate.
"Alright." he said, Lucas moving, walking back to his love, sitting down beside Josh, Josh's arm going around him.
"Sit down everyone. Let's watch love unfold. And I'll show more." he said, everyone returning to their seats, Jefferson returning to his beside Myles, the two still holding hands.
"Our story begins with my own downfall, with my own past. A past someone found out about. And that person used it against me." he said, Lucas staring at him.
The man's blue pools went around, looking at everyone.
"Out of that deceit my soulmate lost his sight. Lost his immobility for so many years. I have spent my life trying to win back that love, win back that life." he said, Myles' hand squeezing his.
"You never lost it, Abraham." he said, Jefferson staring into his shaded eyes.
"I cheated on our love, Myles." he said, looking towards Emerson and Tristan, both staring at him.
"That deceit drove you from my love, causing the car crash that almost destroyed you. Forgive me, my love. Forgive me for destroying all of you." he cried, Myles' arm going around him.
"We have talked this through, Abe. I forgave you when
you showed your giving love."
Lucas stared at both men, Jefferson's eyes going around to everyone.
"I had sinned against my love for this man." he said, staring at Emerson.
"It's time the truth was known, and then I'll leave." he said, his voice filling the room, everyone listening in silence.
Two green pools stared at him, Lucas' mind filling with a known truth.
"Our love was intense. I fell in love with this man the moment I laid eyes upon his beautiful face." Jefferson said, Myles smiling at him.
"It was only a few weeks after Emerson brought me here, here to begin my new life." Jefferson said, staring at the older man, Emerson smiling at him.
"I had met Tristan, the young man welcoming me as a contemporary, as a friend." Jefferson said, Tristan smiling at him.
"Emerson gave me a job, as an employee within the stables. As a farmhand and as a friend. He, his wife and son welcomed me into their home. They became the family I had lost." he said, the three smiling at him.
"It was through that job that I saw a vision of beauty that day so long ago. Tristan and his college friends had been riding all afternoon, the group returning to the stables. And that's when I stared into two blue pools of intense overwhelming love. It was that day that I met my Myles." he said, Myles staring at him.
His head moved around, the man smiling.
"It was that day that I found the second part of my soul. Emerson had paid for my scholastic achievements, treating me as a second son, my friendship with Tristan within my heart all my life. And that friendship brought me to that stable's door that day. And I found love." he said, Jefferson staring at him.
"Your love was unbelievable. You treated me as a man, not a servant. Our love grew under the watchful gaze of our friend Tristan and our families." he said, the family smiling at the two.
"We all saw your love easily, Abraham." Grayson said, Jefferson smiling.
The man's eyes lowered, Grayson's and Emerson's eyes meeting.
"We loved each other with all our souls, Grayson. And that's why my deceit was all the more destructive."
"What happened, Abraham?" Emerson said, the man staring towards his friend and employer.
"I fell from grace, Emerson. The evil drew me into its web. For it found my weakness."
"It found your loving soul, Abraham."
Jefferson's eyes turned, staring at Lucas who'd spoken.
"Evil feeds on love, everyone. It cannot abide by its beauty. It seeks to destroy it. And it uses all means. Even blackmail, strength and underhandedness." he said, Jefferson staring at him.
"How. . .how did you know?" he softly said, Lucas staring at him.
"Evil can easily be felt, Abraham. My magic senses its games." he said, Jefferson releasing his soulmate's hand.
He rose from his seat, going to the fireplace, staring down into the flames, the fire snapping and sparking.
"He was a monster, Lucas. I didn't sense it until it was too late. Until I was lost within the spider's web." he said, trembling.
Lucas rose from his seat, walking up to the man, his hand going to his shoulder, Jefferson raising his tear-filled eyes.
"Monsters will answer for their deeds, Abraham. I guarantee you that. Tonight I'll heal the paths." he said, Jefferson moving, the young man holding him close, the man sobbing into his chest.
Randall was staring at his friend, his emotions filled with concern and love.
"He. . .he. . .he blackmailed me into it, Lucas! He found out my past, my life of sinfulness! He. . .he used it against our love!" he stammered, Lucas rubbing his back.
"Who is he speaking of, Lucas?" Emerson said, staring around the room, looking at Myles.
The man's head was lowered, his body motionless.
Jefferson stared at Emerson, his face covered in tears, Emerson staring at him.
"It was Haven, Emerson. Your adoptive son owned my soul. And he destroyed it!"
Everyone gasped, looking at the man, seeing the emotion on his face.
"He. . .he. . .he did what?!" Emerson said, Grayson staring at the man with surprise as well, his blue eyes meeting Gabriel's blue.
"The monster showed himself, Emerson. He. . .he blackmailed me into being his slave. He. . .he used me. . .he raped my soul!" Jefferson said, Randall standing up, walking up to his friend, his arm going around him.
"He is a monster, Abraham. Lucas has shown us that truth." Randall said, Lucas smiling at him with compassion.
Emerson rose from his seat, walking up to Jefferson, the man staring into his tearful eyes.
"Randall is correct, Abraham. The man's evilness is now in the open."
"He. . .he found out about my past, Emerson! About me being a call boy and stuff! He. . . threatened to tell Myles and Emerson! He threatened to destroy my life again! To cast me out into the darkness again! I. . .I couldn't lose everything again! I just couldn't!" he sobbed, Myles rising from his seat, his cane moving, the man walking up to the voices he heard, Randall staring at him, guiding Jefferson into his opening arms.
"I'm sorry, my love! I'm sorry I destroyed our love!" he sobbed, Myles holding him.
"You have already unburdened your soul to my own, my love. And now the world knows." he said, Lucas' hand going to the man's shoulder.
"The courage you show has always been in your heart, Abraham. Your love as well. Randall felt that youthful love, Myles feels the beauty of its total greatness. It's time you both feel the deeper trueness of it." he said, Myles staring at him.
"You know of my own deceit, don't you?"
Abraham raised his head, staring at his soulmate.
"I am the one who deceived you, my love. I came to you on my knees that night, so long ago. After the defilement of that man's needs. And I saw the look upon your face. I saw the heartbreaking truth. You saw me for who I was! For what I was! And then you left! You drove out of my life!" he sobbed, everyone staring at the two men with compassion and love.
"I drove into my own pain." Myles softly said, Abraham's eyes meeting his glasses-covered pools.
"I hurt you, Myles. I hurt your love and then you never would have had your accident. I robbed you of your love for me and then I robbed you of your sight!"
Lucas' hand went to his shoulder, rubbing it.
"You did no such thing, Abraham. You were deceived, manipulated and used. By a monster of true evil. For that monster didn't use only you." he said, the young man staring at Myles.
The man stepped back, everyone seeing the tears in his eyes.
"Lucas is right, my love. That night you came to me on your knees, pleading your love for me, pleading my forgiveness. It was a forgiveness I didn't deserve. For I was just as guilty as you were. For the monster played all paths." he said, Abraham staring at him.
"What. . .what do you mean, Myles?" he said, Myles' head lowering.
Lucas moved, the man standing between the two.
"He means that his love was threatened and hurt as well as yours, Abraham. Haven played both of you against each other. For a very specific reason." he said, Myles' head moving towards Lucas' voice.
"What. . .what reason, Lucas?" Jefferson said, his man's hand going to his shoulder.
"To stop me from telling Emerson the truth, Abraham. The truth I discovered." he said, Emerson looking at his cook's son.
"What truth?" he said, Myles staring at him.
"I saw the evilness take him, Emerson. A few nights
before my departure from here, I saw Haven in the upper rooms with a shadow.
And I saw the shadow consume him. The evilness possessed him. And then he
stared into my revealed eyes, a smile of true meanness showing on his
"And then he came for you?" Lucas said, the man nodding.
"Yes, Lucas. The man--or monster he now was--attacked me. He. . .he pulled me into a bedroom. . .he. . .he possessed me." the man said, Jefferson staring at him with shock.
"He told me everything, Abraham. Of his owning you, of his defiling your love for me. Of the sheer brutality of his evil soul. And then he threatened to kill you if I didn't give into his needs. I stopped struggling, the monster possessing me, taking what it needed. I lay in stunned loss, your love hammering at my soul. And he took that soul and shattered it." the man said, Gabriel rising from his seat, going to Grayson's side, his arm going around his man.
"Hello, Myles. I'm Gabriel. Lucas revealed to Grayson and myself a similar pattern of evilness. Haven did the same thing to our love a few years later. He tried to destroy it. Lucas' love gave it back to both of us. I sense he's doing the same tonight for both of you." Gabriel said, Lucas smiling at the judge.
Jefferson's arms went around Myles' waist, the man tensing up.
"Why didn't you tell me, Myles? I would have understood. I would have seen the man's deceit, at what he'd done to both of us." he said, Myles' eyes filled with tears, his cheeks showing them.
"Your love was real, Abraham. It wasn't tainted, but mine was. For I gave into the greater evil, the evil I truly saw. And then I. . .I. . .I sent you into a prison of my own doing. Of my own selfishness. I ruined our love by making you feel guilty."
Jefferson pulled him close.
"Oh, my love! I loved you then, I love you now. Where is the guilt in that?" he said, Lucas smiling at the man.
"No guilt was ever real, my friends. And I know what your own heart was pledged to do. And I know Haven knew it as well." Lucas said, Myles staring at him.
"Tell him the truth, Myles. And then I'll voice a greater truth."
Myles' face went to Jefferson's, the man staring at him.
"That night, that night of your confession. I wasn't
running away from you, my love. I already knew of your heart's shame, Haven
having already revealed it. I loved you deeper than I ever had before that
night. For I knew that your soul was as trapped as mine. That your love was as
real as mine, and just as trapped. That night I didn't flee from your love, I
went in search of its freedom, and my own."
Lucas' hand went to the man's shoulder.
"You drove out that night in search of Haven. To destroy the evil. To give both of your hearts justice."
Everyone stared at the man with surprise.
"Yes. . .yes Lucas. That night I drove away from my home to seek out evil. To destroy it. I carried a gun in my car's boot. I mean to find Haven and kill him. I was going to kill the evil!" he said, Jefferson staring at him with tearful love.
"Oh why, my love? Why didn't you tell me the
"How could I, my Abe?! How could I tell you that that monster had defiled me as well?" he cried, Jefferson pulling him close.
"You left me to walk into fate's pain, my love. Why didn't you tell me? You'd be whole now, our love would be whole!" Jefferson cried, the two holding each other close.
"Your love is whole, Abraham and Myles. It never faltered throughout your lives." Lucas said, the two looking towards him.
"Each of you felt a deep guilt in what you'd done to your joined love. Abraham always believed that he'd caused your injuries, Myles. That his defilement of your love had caused you to flee that night. So from then on he showered you with his giving, caring love. He slowly nursed you back to health, as healthy as you could be. You felt his love every moment of the last thirty years. And you yourself, Myles, felt a deeper guilt of not telling him the truth. The truth that you'd known beforehand of Haven' deceit. You never got the chance to cleanse your own soul of its truth. Tonight that's happened. And another truth must be shown as well. For I sensed that truth just a few weeks ago. I sensed it in the man's magic as I possessed it."
The two men stared at the young man, everyone staring at Lucas.
"Haven is gone from the path, my friends. I have sent him into the prison of his own greed. He is confined in the abyss of judgment. His deeds will one day be judged. My magic preordains it."
"He's. . .he's dead?" Myles softly said, Lucas' hand going to shoulder.
"No, Myles. He's trapped in his own evil. An evil that's left him alone and lost. That evil still lingers, possessing another to do its needs. For both of you that is of no matter. For before you stands a greater truth." Lucas said, the young man staring at Myles.
"You never would have killed Haven, Myles. For Haven was one step ahead of both of you. You were both destined to die that night." he said, both men looking surprised.
"What. . .what. . .what do you mean?" Jefferson said, Lucas staring at him and Myles.
"What was going on that night, Grandfather?" Lucas said, looking at Emerson, Isadora's arm going around her husband, she having walked up to him.
"It was the night of the annual Harvest Ball, Lucas. It was in town. Myles and Jefferson were running late that night. They would have been the last to arrive. But they never showed." she said, Lucas nodding.
"Yes, they would have never shown."
"What do you mean, my love?" Josh said, Lucas looking at him, his eyes returning to the two men standing in front of him.
"I mean that your accident was no accident, Myles. Haven had tampered with your brakes that night. He was the one who intended to kill both of you. He'd taken what he could from both of you and he was then determined to destroy other lives. Emerson's, Tristan's, Mavis' and Horace's. Your deaths would have destroyed their hearts."
The two men stared at Lucas in disbelief, the man's hands going to each of their shoulders.
"Your lives have been filled with false guilt, evil's touch and love's lost trueness. Tonight you both need to find in each other the trueness of your real love. And to do that I need to give all to have all." Lucas said, the man's eyes closing, everyone rising from their seats, staring at a white glow that suddenly appeared around Lucas.
"This gift needs no wrappings, it is only wrapped in the trueness of your souls."
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, the white glow moving, encircling all three, Jefferson and Myles drawn into the whiteness.
It only lasted for the briefest of moments, its whiteness disappearing instantly, Lucas the only one who moved.
He trembled, the man feeling two sets of arms surround him.
"Lucas, you've taxed yourself!" Emerson said, he and Josh holding him.
"Love taxes the most giving hearts." he said, staring at the two men standing before him.
Jefferson's eyes showed a wide look of total shock.
"Myles! You're. . .you're so young! You're. . .you're beautiful!!" he stuttered, Myles' hand going to his face, removing his glasses.
Jefferson's eyes widened more, staring into two blue pools of shining wetness.
"Abe! I. . .I see you. . .I see your youthful beauty!!" he cried, the two men moving forward, their lips joining, their arms pulling each other close.
"Love knows no ending. One can see when one's free of the deceit." Lucas said, a voice filling the room's awed quietness.
"My baby! My baby can see!" Mavis cried, the woman rushing forward, Jefferson and Myles both immediately wrapped in her arms, Horace's arms surrounding all three.
Lucas smiled, Grayson now at his side, his hand going to the young man's shoulder.
"They spoke of youthful looks, Lucas. The same gift you have given Gabe and myself?" he said, Lucas' now violet pools meeting his blue.
No one, save one, had seen Lucas remove the ring, depositing it in his pocket.
"Yes, my friend. They lost their youth with their lost love. It was only fitting they have both returned to each other's eyes and souls."
Everyone moved, surrounding Lucas and the hugging foursome, Lucas' eyes lowering.
"Excuse me, everyone. I need to walk away from too much love." he said, the man moving, everyone watching him walk over to the door, the man disappearing out of the room, closing the door behind him.
"Is he alright, Josh?" Lance said, Colton staring at him and Josh as well as Justin, the two men now at Josh's side.
"He is alright, guys. He just needs to stabilize his soul. Such love comes with a price. It is the calming love of a greater magic." Colton said, the man smiling towards the closed doors, his face showing a deeper understanding.
The four by the fireplace were suddenly surrounded by everyone, two men feeling the newness of Lucas' widening family.
End of Chapter 151
And so Lucas has drawn two others out onto the stage that is his life.
Randall's former youthful friend, and Lucas' own revealed great-cousin, Myles.
Two souls once lost in the deceitfulness of Haven's evil.
A man who's now serving a greater punishment richly deserved.
Lucas reveals the past's secrets, paths walked in confusion and lies.
Two men showing love to each other, a more real love underneath.
Lucas has healed Myles' eyes, the man seeing his lost love as he last gazed upon it.
Young, beautiful and his.
And Jefferson stared into two eyes of forgotten love.
Another Christmas gift given in Lucas' giving soul.
Onward we go, more surprises waiting.
New families join, new love shows.
Hugs, Angel.

I lost my hearing aid last fall. Had a new ear test and found I now needed hearing aids in both ears. First place I tried was Zounds who had an ad in the local paper for $395.00 for hearing aids. They put me through extensive trials including standing outside and noticing the traffic noise could be muted. HOWEVER, when I went to purchase, it turned out what they had demonstrated cost $3-4,000. Talk about bait and switch. I took the $395 ones but returned them shortly as they did not fit. The next place had a great technician and sold me hearing aids which they had had as loaners for folks who lost or destroyed their aids. They had these reconditioned and sold them to me at a discounted price. HOWEVER, the technician left there and the new one I was assigned to simply did not know what she was doing. I forget the setting she used, but it was an inappropriate one. So, I returned those and eventually got a refund.
Now to my delight, I have found a hearing aid place that shows me the settings they're using, explains what they're doing and have given me among other things, a dehumidifier (I had my first hearing aid for 5 years and no one mentioned a de-humidifier). Their price was reasonable, their financing is no interest for 2 years and I can tell when I wear them.
Too many of my senior citizen friends won't wear hearing aids — cost being one reason, vanity - the fear they'll look old is another. Don't they know they look old when they have to keep asking "what did you say?"
I got my hearing aids after I read that folks who don't get hearing help are 5 times more likely to get dementia. Think about it… if you can't hear, your brain isn't processing as much…. Duh!!
