““Dad handed me his empty glass and patted my shoulder. "Abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul." Then he picked up his work gloves, shook off the dirt, and headed for the garage. "Wait!" I started to follow him but stopped when he didn't answer or even turn. "I guess that's a no." From that day on, Dad spoke in nothing but Bible verses. It was like living inside a sermon.””
