Lachlan’s Journals: From the first week of settling in, I had dived into restoring the musty, abandoned family home. My Nandy helped when he could, but was growing tired.

And, I am not even sure Joseph Smith is his real name . . . don’t drink the Kool Aid (remember Jim Jones)! J.R.’s Journals: Under a dimly lit streetlight I strolled. Maturity hovered [...]
