#1 I am a writer. I enjoy piecing together the narrative. I like being one step ahead of the audience with my insider knowledge. I am a fraud. I am uneducated and unbrilliant.
#2 I like to know how my story is going to end. And when I don't know, there is a sort of blind panic that unsettles, unnerves, and terrifies me. I have to wait until the sound of the reverberating...

All of this serves as theological reflection worked out in public and vocal forms of prophetic...
