So, raise you hands if you know someone apparently normal in every way except they married a nut, kook, maniac, or schidzoid. Eveyone knows someone who has done this. You just have to shake your head everytime you meet them or see them. Someone deep inside the 'normal' person is not right, that they would commit themselves to someone who is obvioulsy disturbed or at least off balanced.

Why have I thought of this (despite the obvious for those who know our family)? Check out this short article I found on the internet today,,,,

Love Can Mess You Up: Before Arthur David Horn met his future bride Lynette (a "metaphysical healer") in 1988, he was a tenured professor at Colorado State, with a Ph.D. in anthropology from Yale, teaching a mainstream course in human evolution. With Lynette's guidance (after a revelatory week with her in California's Trinity Mountains, searching for Bigfoot), Horn evolved, himself, resigning from Colorado State and seeking to remedy his inadequate Ivy League education. At a conference in Denver in September, Horn said he now realizes that humans come from an alien race of shape-shifting reptilians that continue to control civilization through the secretive leaders known as the Illuminati. Other panelists in Denver included enthusiasts describing their own experiences with various alien races. [Rocky Mountain Collegian, 9-28-09]

Brother David was at least some what normal, although he did teach an evolution classs (takes a great deal of faith to believe in that). He was a college educated man who spent enough time in class to achieve a doctorate, which is a great accomplishment. It at least shows that he was a hard worker and a deligent student. But, now he's looking to the night sky for his ancestors, who apparently resemble a gecco. All because he meets a woman who has probably spent a lot of money on smokable weed.

I have to feel some compassion for him. I've known others who married outside of the normal thinking world. And it can be hard on the ones who would love to spend time with them. But, just as light has no relationship with darkness, so saneness has no relationship with a nut-cake. It's just a law of the universe I'm afraid and a very frustrating one at that.
