Restoring the brethren to the Son of Joseph, one day at a time
My apologies to my readers for such a long absence. I've recently started a freelance researcher position and the simple fact of the matter is that by the end of the day, I'm usually all written out. What writing energy I do have left has been going to a book tentatively titled The End of …
