Coming up on the Potter's Touch.

How do you find the grace to survive a divorce, a travesty, an accident, an incident, a moment

of vengeance?

How do you find the grace?

How do you manage the conflict, the contradiction when bad and good live in the same house?

Nathan said thou art the man because it is easier to judge other people than to accept our own

mistakes as long as Nathan couched it as if it was somebody else David was judging him until he
