This is so good, Evan. You are such a wonderful, creative writer - and what a theme!

"Boy, God made you born free. Don’t let the world slowly take that from you.

But if you... Christ is always there. He likes to rattle all the cages, and swing the doors wide open for the captives to go free. He’ll do that for you too. "

What a gift for your new boy to have!

Wow Evan. This is so “ dad-ly”. In fact, beyond. You are wise and so comforting. I’ll pray about those wires. Richard needs a ride home

This is art: being tickled and deeply moved, simultaneously.
