Wounded and Wounding, an except from Third Son of Thor
Conflicts within families constitute not only the bitterest strife on Earth, but have the potential to cultivate the subtlest and most enduring abuse. When the misconduct involves an elderly father and his children – the subject of the present inquiry – the urgency of attending to the matter, as well as the complexity, increases tenfold.
Where Be These Enemies?, an excerpt from Third Son of Thor
The creatures of the hadal deep do not know they are at the bottom of the ocean and certainly do not know they are at the bottom of the food chain. Innocent of God’s grace, they have also been spared the agony of having to choose between their existential attachments and salvation.

Earthly Treasures, a web essay
After my father’s memorial service, a cousin whispered to me that he had hoped I might say a word or two. My answer at the time was that my feelings were too much in turmoil to be able to say anything coherent about my father. Only now, ten months after my father’s death, do I know what I would like to have said then, and am able to say now.
