I meant to tell this man that his shirt was a blessing to me today, but then I lost him in the crowd. Thank you, sir!

Paul Stroble: I'm a devoted family guy, a college prof, a United Methodist elder, and a freelance writer. I've written 25 books and have contributed to 10 others. As with this blog, I enjoy delving into a variety of subjects. My recent books are "Walking with Jesus through the Old Testament: Devotions for Lent", and the poetry books "Small Corner of the Stars" and "East Rock". My other books include a study book on Galatians, a book on the sense of place, a study of Karl Barth's theology, and another on science and religion. My book "What Do Other Faiths Believe?" has sold over 20,000 copies. My first book, "High on the Okaw's Western Bank," is a history of my hometown (Vandalia, IL) when it was the Illinois state capital, where Lincoln and Douglas began their political careers. In addition to articles, essays, lessons, meditations, reviews, and poetry--altogether published in 30 periodicals-- I also wrote or researched over 180 issues of the online curriculum "FaithLink," on many contemporary topics like health care, climate, poverty, prison reform, family, education, and others. I've received awards for my writing, and a teaching award at U. Akron. I serve on the Yale Alumni Fund board.
