I did it, I posted my first story on Patreon!

https://patreon.com/CCfromNJ


This story is based on the adventure I had on my 25th birthday when I had gotten tickets for the FIFA World Cup (Football/soccer) and NY Mets Fireworks Night. I wish I could find Heather today. I wonder how she remembers that day?

The story is free, and you don't have to sign up or subscribe ( but not so secretly wish you would).

I would like to publish one free thing and one thing behind the paywall each month. I have a great deal of work already typed up, all I have to do is make it presentable.

I thank God got letting me share in this way which is a dream I have had for a very long time.

NJ Transit Fare Holiday Adventure

When Governor Murphy announced the Fare Holiday week, which included Labor Day weekend, I knew I had to take advantage of this!  The question became when and where? It is the end of summer, so my thoughts were of ‘Summer things’ (at least in my mind). The Jersey Shore? Most certainly! But which beach? I took the Atlantic City Line train to Atlantic City on Memorial Day, which was already checked off for the summer of 2024. Maybe this was the excuse I needed to get on New Jersey Transit’s longest bus line: The 317 which runs from Philadelphia to Asbury Park and passes right in front of my home in Mt. Holly?   After checking maps and weather, the plan began to come together: First Stop: Point Pleasant Beach. What comes after that, I don’t know. After spending two-plus hours on a bus, maybe I won’t want to do this much more. After spending some time on the boardwalk, I can walk a few blocks to the train station, where a few buses stop also, and see where I end up. Maybe I co...

That Sunday in church, Major Navarro made an announcement. “This year we are going to be hosting a special campaign during Holy week, the Territorial Evangelists will be visiting us and will be running special services each day from Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday. We are going to be needing everybody’s help between now and Easter.” At this time I was taking Soldier classes, which are like doctrine training and was on track to get installed as a Senior Soldier on Easter Sunday. This was just the righ...
