🇫🇷 The French, Our Friends

A people of Peace and Liberty

A nation born from God’s own heart!

Would rather make love than war- over there in the great lands of France.

A real Romance in real time…

The scent of warm bread curled around her as she stepped onto the cobblestones, teasing her senses like a private invitation. Sunlight spilled across the street, turning each stone into a ribbon of gold. From a balcony above, a violinist’s melody drifted lazily, wrapping the morning in a soft, lilting embrace. Cafés beckoned, their tables ready for whispered conversation, steaming coffee, and moments that lingered just a little too long to be ordinary.

He held the door with a knowing smile, letting her pass first. Guiding her to a sunlit table, he moved with quiet confidence, every gesture deliberate, as if born from a place that knew both strength and grace—the kind of strength that once crossed oceans to gift a symbol of freedom, now present in the small, thoughtful movements of a morning café. Every glance and pause carried care and admiration, a rhythm of friendship and yearning intertwined, like a lion’s quiet search for what could truly satisfy the heart. Statues and fountains seemed to lean closer, whispering ideals of freedom, dignity, and strength, subtle echoes of Lady Liberty watching from afar.

Even ordinary moments felt extraordinary here, and she couldn’t help but smile at the gentle magic woven into the streets. The laughter, scents, and soft hum of life around them all reminded her that joy, friendship, and a touch of romance could bloom anywhere—especially among The French, Our Friends

Scott L.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
