Feels like wonder, nostalgia and identity.
The routine question that catches a man out, long after he thought he was safe.
After nearly four years of retirement, why hadn’t he been able to formulate a pat answer? He usually reported that he supplied various churches here and there, which was true, of course, but it sounded lame. Indeed, he once said, without thinking, “Oh, nothing much.” Upon hearing such foolishness out of his mouth, he felt covered with shame. Books by Jan Karon
