Words once spoken or written can resonate far beyond the limits of our own personal understanding, affecting the lives of people in distant lands and in distant times. I started this page so that I could share some of what I find meaningful about the human condition. Words and ideas can change the world only by first changing ourselves. Through written self-expression, not only may others come to know us, we may come to know ourselves.

“Love...

is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”

– St. Paul, 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

– St. Paul, Ephesians 6:12

"The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not overcome it."

– St. John, John 1:5

For you my heart defied an enemy always so unjust, for whom no rules applied, never to deserve our trust. What word

Out of Many, One

Having lived overseas the majority of my life, not by personal choice, but as an imposition dictated by circumstances well beyond my control, my love for the United States of America has never been an overpowering sentiment merely determined by birth alone. The notion that love often requires an equal measure of personal self-sacrifice, always in the defense of our highest values, interests, ideas, dreams and beliefs, was never entirely lost on me. Though the Bible taught me
