Who was that idiot who told you that you can't write? Or where did you learn since then? This stuff is brilliant - these three articles.

I could tell you line, chapter, and verse about the elements and devices you use - but who cares? I couldn't keep from listening to all three end to end.

Your stuff is brilliant.

Thanks, Robert.

Not important who it was.

I honestly believe he meant zero harm. I think he was trying to help me, but he didn't see what it was doing to me, and he left my life when I hit that depression.

But think of it THIS way….had that NOT happened, we would not be here, and I would not be on Substack. Guaranteed.

I'm grateful for all that happened.

I've been on track and shooting past previous goals like a rocket since 2024!

Kinda hard to believe the long way you've come, now that I've heard all that backstory.

But, yes - it's all the blessongs that count. And being true to yourself and your God-given talents.

Hope the measles all leave soon.

Prayers all around.

Thank you, my friend. Actually, today, this very morning, fevers started creaking....2 of the children are outside playing. And my daughter seems to be doing well also. A funny story from last night for next Coffee, though.

And as for the long way I've come, that's only half the story...the parts I was willing to make public. The rest is better dead and buried, if you know what I mean...

I'm here. This is my path and my life, and I'm grateful for it.
