Evening At Home
Stumbled on this little gem, brewing in the depths of my “drafts” folder, one of 119 forgotten or half-realized old posts. You deserve to read it.

Porch Missionary
A knock on the door last week, too damned early on a foggy morning…a woman with pamphlets, a captious smile, and bible clenched beneath white, shivering knuckles.

Like this. Proverbs 26:11: As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth…
