Ever heard the saying “Dyslexics of the world, untie!” Or how about, “Dyslexics have more fnu.” Yeah, yeah, funny, but having grown up with a pretty severe dyslexic, I’m here to tell you that it isn’t fnu at all.

A thousand years ago, I was a carpenter. When I was still new at the job, I did something very stupid. (I know, can you believe it?) I’d been so eager to please, wanted so desperately to do well….

Whenever I see a seahorse I think: this is an example of God’s sense of humor. Then I think: so, ebola is an example of what, exactly? Hmm. But leaving theology out of it, seahorses are just cool, and fascinating, and funny, and I like them. So if you stay tuned, you will see more of them right here.
