Life, theology & writing...Okay, and some crabbing and moaning, too
Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.
Those of you familiar with Mark Twain’s works might recognize my blog title. As Samuel Clemons grew older, he became increasingly disillusioned with humanity. Towards the end he began referring to the Damned Human Race; employing the secular and religious epithet at one stroke.
I find I’ve not reached that level of despair myself. I still believe in redemption and I still see signs of nobility even among we fallen, damned creatures. So, I could not bring myself to call this blog “On the Damned Human Race.” I do however, resonate with another of Clemmons stories; “The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg.” And viola, there you have it. “Observations From Hadleyville.”

Just smile and be happy!
Okay. This is the third time I've tried to comment. If this doesn't work, I'm outta here. I think what I said is that I really enjoy reading your blog, DTB, and think you're quite witty. Keep up the good work. Keep writing, because you're good, and it's a calling.
Thank you Jane.
