Act 2: Gluten, the Enemy of Man

My parents came by our new place today to make sure we weren't living in squalor and to bring us some food items being purged from their kitchen. my step dad W. is embarking on a new journey in his life which has required a gluten, dairy, and processed food free diet. there are not words good enough to describe the patience he has. i have only ever heard him raise his voice twice in twelve years. his is not my story to tell, but my story, what mine eyes have seen is fair game. and when i look upon the man W. is i can only hope to be like him. he has seen the dragon and has not flinched. if could bet on someone i would bet on him. not because he boasts the loudest, not because he has done great feats of strength or leaped tall buildings in a single bound. i would bet on W. because he lets his actions boast for him, his strength comes from the deep well of God and he has the courage to walk every step of that tall building. i am blessed to know him.
