Operamail has been down alot this week, so if you sent any new email, I have not got it. I did something at least as bad (careless) today. We had a clean-up day at church, and I was in the storage room organizing supplies. I was really enjoying the chance to interact with T, a tall 13 year old whom I haven't had much chance to speak to. He was working up in the loft, which is accessed by one of those narrow folding stairs in the ceiling of the storage room. As T made his way up and down those stairs carrying trash out, I felt compelled to help him, as any true BL would, twice even placing my hand on his back to stabilize him since he had both hands full. He seemed to be enjoying the attention, and would make innocent jokes as he was watching me watching him climb the stairs. One time, just as T was disappearing up into the attic, the pastor's wife popped into the room, and I realized as I turned around that I was wearing a huge grin - and my tongue was hanging out! I made out like I was breathless from moving heavy boxes and greeted her jovially, trying to appear to be in a playful mood. She seemed intent on finding the broom. I don't think she really noticed what she saw, but she could have. Anyway, what I am thinking is that how people judge you has a lot to do with how you act around them. If you feel rejected and condemned, then condemned you are! If you are upbeat and happy, then you must just be playing! People are so trivial in their assessments of others. Nate |
