[Part 6, Chapter 42] Wyatt is one of our grandchildren. His middle name is David. His father’s middle name is Thomas. His younger brother’s middle name is Thomas. One day, we were talking about names, and it must have dawned on him that his middle name was different. “I don’t want to be Wyatt David […]
[Part 6, Chapter 41] One year after my catch up with Beth (from chapter 23), I heard the familiar Bing alerting me to a private message. It was Beth.

It is elementary, then, that Jesus was going to grow in favour. Let’s call it environmental favour. We grow into the values and beliefs of the environment in which […]
[Part 6, Chapter 36] You’ve worked hard. The document seems aligned and in place. Then you print, and it looks like a dog’s breakfast. WYSIWYG, a computing phrase meaning What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get. If only it were that simple. Many of us have spent a lifetime hiding from others that which we don’t want them to see; projecting […]
