Compelling story and message here. Reminds me of the many times I've been searching for grandeur, and ended up in some pretty unpromising situations. But yes, inserting our best selves humbly into those circumstances is the thing - it's a Christ-like, incarnational idea. "Be the change you want to see" etc. And any nod to the 1989 Batman movie's OK by me. I like it when Bruce Wayne's working up the courage to reveal his true identity to Vicky Vale: repeating "I'm Batman" to the mirror...
As I read the first part of this, I was wondering if this was a different Bobby writing this…. And then you and Holy Spirit did what you do best …. Shine with authenticity and transparency. Thank you.
Thanks, Penny! And I appreciate that you - as a long time reader - heard a distinction in the voice (early and later in the piece). That’s helpful for me to know! And… glad it connected! Thanks again :)

Glad it connected, Peter! Appreciate the thoughtful response as well as the fun Batman connection. :)
