There were times when I wished my parents hadn’t moved to Lewiston. Following the money seemed like the right thing to do back then.

In his rebuttal letter “Words on the hardened heart” (July 26), David T. Theriault sought to enlighten me with verses from Paul’s epistle to the Romans (1:20-21) concerning the folly of those who deny God’s existence in the face of all created reality.
