Losing ground
“How can I explain personal pain?” —Violent Femmes, “Gimme the Car” My faith in God has never been Herculean, in fact has only resembled a broken, frail little man on its best day. I’m not sure if I pulled the plug or if natural causes took their final payment, but I recently realized I’ve been living with a corpse. I hear people talk about “freedom...
