I would like to substitute "place", or "a home" for the word "courage" in the closing line of this story. Chris, very nice story, as I read it for the second and third time I began to look at the world in this story through Viktor's eyes. Looking beyond all of the unruly, annoying behaviors he might have, and his troubled past,...perhaps he has been the patient one, living the only way he has been shown, waiting for relief, waiting for answers... to who he is, where he is from, waiting for someone to love him, wanting to be 'home". Wanting to share this longing with you was an interesting turn in the story. Sometimes the mirror is held up to us by the most unlikely person. Thank you for sharing your part in this as openly as you did. We should all be so honest.

I think you've given voice to all the Viktors who come to this ministry seeking wholeness out of their shattered backgrounds. Thanks.
