Regarding Anecdotes
We’re storytellers all. We describe what happened to us on our trip. We tell about that wreck we were involved in. We wax nostalgic over our vacations. And when it comes to religion, well, everybody has a story about that, … Continue reading
That Old Black Magic

Down the Rabbit Hole
