Loved this line! “Self-invited if not self-inflicted.”

Redemption is not expected but it’s often hoped for, even I know this. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t want to be seen in the present once the past is done with, J.

This is really, really good.

Excellent story.

Many years ago, I met a fellow who changed his name when he gave his life to Jesus.

He did not share his past, simply replied he was no longer that person and had made a choice to leave his old life behind.

Anger had a name -- in the past.

The final line was beautiful. Please, call me Joseph.
