Return of the Prodigal

Here I am back from my visit, reopening my blog somewhat later than originally promised. I needed time to process my experience. Even now I'm not ready to write about it. But I know that if I don't write something soon I shall get out of the habit of blogging altogether and move on to something else. And I'm not quite ready to call it quits yet. So I now offer the next article (below), which is the third in my ruminations of the "essential doctrines of the faith" or, as it is titled, "The Fundamentals".
