The exclamation point was invented by stacking letters. The mark comes from the Latin word io, meaning “exclamation of joy.” Written vertically, with the i above the o, it forms the exclamation point we use today.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”

Back To The Beach
I arrived back at the beach after a detour through Saint John’s to preach at the funeral of a dear friend and widow of one of my predecessors. I am grateful for the support that allows me to do my work in this way. It is only through the generosity of the people of Saint John’s that I have a living which then frees me to do the work of ministry. No one pays me to preach however they do support me while I do that. It is what we do together.
