Hey, I don't want to ever coerce you out of your comfort zone...
I want you to go voluntarily! ;)
But, as you have asked, I will give you a link to one out of my Curmudgeon series... Perhaps the least polemic of all:
I suspect you'll happily get by with decaf on this one... But do let me know? ;)
I read it. It was beautiful. I agree with what you said - why curmudgeon? I didn't hear a tirade at all. I heard passion, respect for and awe of our Creator — the Word made flesh and dwelt amongst us. I didn't need coffee, just water. :)
