One time I was squinting at the breakfast table with my grandsons when one of them asked, “Pappy, what’s wisdom?” I laughed and told him, “Well, when I was your age I thought wisdom was what old people got after they’d messed up enough times.” He nodded like that made perfect sense.
But Paul has something infinitely better!

My Neon Bible and the Day the Lights Finally Came On
The Loudest Bible in Three Counties!

Notes crammed in every margin like graffiti on a subway car.
I was proud of that rainbow mess.
Proof I was “in the Word.” Or was I?
