I have been called many things. The Father of Lies is the one that stings, and not because it's cruel - because it's lazy. Lies are for amateurs.
I told one lie, eight thousand years ago, and it was three marks cut into a bone.
Everything since has been bookkeeping.
I do not tempt anybody. I have never once had to. I hand you a deed, a filing fee, an insurance letter, a form with a box on it - and you do the rest yourselves, and you are always, always certain it was your own idea.
Which brings me to a church basement in Concord, Michigan, and a man who started putting food out on Thursdays with no cash box, no sign-up sheet, and no line.
I gave him four years.
This is the record of what it cost. I have revised it once, honestly, which is not a thing I have ever done before.
I would rather you knew that going in.
