It should be noted that Jonathan Pokluda emailed me and graciously and kindly sought my forgiveness (I’m not sure that he needed to). I added an edit on my post.

I remembered the children’s story about the barn door as I read this. I did ruin my life in my 20’s but thanks to the redemptive work of Christ and the grace of God my life was not ruined. God made me a new door!

Oh, that good ‘ol barn door story. I have “fond” memories of being forced to sit in the print shop putting those books together, for free, during the teachers’ in-service week. However, as my dad would say whenever I would complain about it, “It won’t kill you.” And it didn’t.
