posted by adam on 02.27.2007A small French village is being terrorized by what the people simply call “the beast.” A biologist sent by the king believes it may be a wolf, but quickly learns that the beast’s victims could not have been attacked and bitten by any normal wolf.

posted by adam on 02.15.2007I was reminded today of the cardinal rule of speaking truth. A mentor told me this: before and after you speak what you believe to be truth, you should engage in what he called “the labor of prayer.”
I did not do that (either before or after) posting this week. I apologize.
I’m sure some of what […]
