Perfectly Formed Moments - Sacred and Secular -

Now living in Paradise in Hawaii, as a retired litigation and appeals lawyer from mainland America, I have time to contemplate, meditate, and appreciate autobiographical miracles I have known (in the Biblical sense).




I realize that almost every influence that shaped my life, my integrity and my character came through some female angelic presence (including the worst of the women who were significant in my life).



My Father was a secular saint, and my Mother was his wonderful, welcome cross to bear.



As I mentioned earlier she was a “non-believer” who made sure I grew up in the church, and told me as I was being wheeled into the operating room for emergency surgery that she “knew God would bring me back to her.”
