On a cold Tuesday morning in late January, you sit inside the campus museum for your hour of front desk duty with your coworker J.D.. In the far distance you hear the campus bell chime nine times. There are no visitors, only the sound of the ticking clock. You and J.D. pull out your laptops from your backpacks to escape boredom. As you check your campus e-mail, you notice a subject line that makes you stop in your tracks. You click on the subject line, Roy Christiansen.

Forever grateful to the little boy, I ran out the door. “Brother!” the girl in the house shouted. She was the human I considered to be my mama out of the four humans who lived at the house with me.

In a land where all things are possible through the One who created everyone and everything, there were as many unique beings as there were stars in the sky if someone looked up and tried to count them all. Even if any two looked alike they each had their own combination of abilities given by the One who made them. Once a year many of the young ones would meet at a special gathering place, secluded from the rest of the world, for a week which in turn made them more aware of both the differences between one another as well as what tied them t...
