Our Lessons Come From the Journey--Master Post

[tcs1121]

The road of life twists and turns
and no two directions are ever the same.
Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.

Beta: kkgee My number one girl. Thanks to her for everything forever.

Special Thanks to spn_j2fan who was kind enough to go over certain aspects of this story, of which she is intimately knowledgable. Profound thanks, my dear.

A/N: This is the fourth and final installment to the Twists and Turns 'Verse, but don't worry, the boys are alive and happy at the end. You would need to read the other three: Twists and Turns, And No Two Directions Are Ever the Same, and A Paradox, to fully make sense of this story. And I hope you will.

"Egypt, Jen. They want me to take a team to Egypt." Jared smiled so hard the kitchen lights had a hard time keeping up. "A year's not very long, right?"
