Yesterday, I shopped for chocolates for Kinya and Keima, remembering St. Valentine, who'd been imprisoned for secretly performing marriages between young lovers altho' the young men had been drafted to go to war.
Valentine's loyalty lay much higher: to God, the Creator of the shadows of the prison cell.
"You won't find a bargain like that again." Kinya had told me. My last laptop had been a high end one someone let go of for a newer model, and we happened to grab it when it first hit the market.
God, the Creator, had brought it to me for about a fifth of retail price.

Let's just pray. You never know what God can do, I'd said, and asked someone at church for pointers looking at computers.
The Creator brought to me a computer bearing all the necessities mentioned by the person at church--CPU, SSD, memory--and after checking, it was learned this laptop would've cost about 8-9 times brand new!
Speaking of "new"...I found something "old"...a Prayer Card from 40 years ago!
My Dad had just gotten remarried, so Kiyo was the new Mrs. Oshiro, and we 3 J's are new missionaries, college graduates here!
Wow. You never know what God can do.
(Can you tell who's who?)
