“God is under no obligation to fit into my logic.”
Douglas Spurling, The Voice

“Things are going to break. You can count on it. Some breaks will leave scars that never go away. But as long as a man is willing to try—those scars are badges of honor.” Richey rested his head on his Grampa’s chest. “I can hear your heart beeping.”
Douglas Spurling, The Voice

“And at that moment the sun broke through a cloudy sky and shined so bright it made their eyes water…and scattered every demon within fourteen square miles.”
Douglas Spurling, The Voice
