Faith might seem like a strange topic for me to write about, with its obvious connections to religion, and to a lesser extent, politics. With one notable exception a short while back, I try to keep my professional ethos of “no politics, no religion” part of my personal life as well. But, for reasons that… Continue reading November 26, 2019
