He and I met @ a joint-church junior high retreat in TX and never really lost touch. And now the hobo's done gone and gotten married and almost ABD by age 23. He's the one that some people used to say he's the Kevin Bacon of reformed circles. If you didn't know him, you knew somebody that did.
From the 1928 BCP:
WATCH over thy child, O Lord, as his days increase; bless and guide him wherever he may be, keeping him unspotted from the world. Strengthen him when he stands; comfort him when discouraged or sorrowful; raise him up if he fall; and in his heart may thy peace which passeth understanding abide all the days of his life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
