Can I Get a Witness...?!

Ok, so remember when I said that I am done keeping a low profile...? This morning a man with a bible showed up on my door step... that never happens... bible or not... we don't really get visitors... at least no one that we actually want to hang out with.... (That's hint Amber if you're reading this...) Anyway, I saw the "Awake" Magazine in his hand before he even got to the screen door... which by the way, I didn't even bother to open. Jehovah's Witnesses... right here in Brayton... the guy was nice enough.. he had his very young son with him. He says, " We're just out talking to people today, about life, the world, and we're reading scripture with people..." I started by thanking him for his visit and then told him the truth... "We're Pagan, both of us... we're Witches.." I was about to offer him a Google search to look up what that meant when he said, "I know what Witches are, I knew some when I lived in Oregon" Then I said, "That's a little ironic, we have been thinking a lot about visiting and maybe moving to Oregon..." After a few words about finding people in town who were interested in the bible, he thanked me for my time and went on his way... It felt really good to finally say that to someone around here. There are some folks we have told... but only a couple that really matter. It is not like we have been in the broom closet - at least not on purpose - I think that we thought that we'd get settled... make some real friends... as in people that we could really trust...that one bit us in the ass. There be predators out here... If we were to click our collective heels together I am not exactly sure where we'd end up... probably back in Iowa City... I mean, there's no place like home... it's true... there isn't... But his is definitely not home... but it's a good way station... we are grateful for that... it could always be worse... always, but in all honesty the journey is really just now beginning... There is a new plan in the planning... this weekend in fact. I have been praying to Lord Ganesha to remove all obstacles and destroy our enemies - both within and without - we should be seeing some sparks any minute now eh?
