Wow.

Lots to unpack here.

I saw that History Channel series. Wow--I didn't realize you had helped with that. Kudos! Truly.

Here's something. I am the direct descendant of John Morton, a Declaration of Independence signer. My grandfather was a 33rd Degree Mason. My grandmother was Eastern Star and DAR. I was sent to Job's Daughters but could not stay awake during the meetings so my mother (a total non-conformist) allowed me to quit. We have family ties to both the Church of Christ and the Episcopalian Church that go way back. I was recruited to work for an agency of government that is one of the more secretive and dysfunctional --and that is saying something when you consider how high (or low) that dysfunction bar is set. I came to Christ at 14 and taking the job never felt good, once you get past the ego gratification, so I quit. I've paid some freight on that. I have stories.

I'm even freaked out writing this, but sunlight is a great disinfectant.

Have things gotten any better in your fantastic small town? Staying takes some brave. I applaud you.
