If Machines Could Write For You
A pair of sci-fi geeks have a curious discussion about artificial intelligence. One says, "What if I invented a machine that copied your intellect so well, that it could write books as if they came from your own mind? Would you still write your own books?"
The other instinctively replies, "Yeah, I'd write about that."

Ink pen on 4.5" x 3.5" paper by Joe Chiappetta 2011
After I had finished praying, my daughter had a most profound question. This was immediately following my prayer of "God please help us to find more people who are open to the gospel, amen."
