I am 30. I am trying to remember names to see where my peers have ended up in life. My hometown has changed so drastically over the years, it is hardly recognizable. I don't run into familiar faces anymore.

I can hardly remember names from high school or earlier. I remember a few former friend's names and crushes I had. That is it. At the same time, I wasn't as sociable as a kid and was rather sheltered anyways.

After pondering this scenario, at night, an angel comes to give reassurance this is a good thing to stay with your man because God impregnated him... and to flee to a weird and dangerous place for safety, like a homeless camp under a bridge in San Francisco, where your man would have his baby in "safety".

...

FWIW... this is the position Joseph from the Bible was in and he chose, based upon what is recorded, to stay with Mary and make more children with her and raise Jesus... the child in question... as his own.
