He makes plain what is blurry - it's the honor and integrity of his work; I would not have been able to see without him. I've sometimes wondered why we both trended toward computer programming. Was it intentional and specific? Or was there something Christ desired in our characters that would lead us both in that direction?

Everything on time.
