Wally:
You are most welcome! It’s my pleasure to read your articles! Your writing is in the style that let’s me In the Know about things I can’t keep up with (even for my age!) with insightful opinions&faith. I can’t stop reading once I start! You, sir, are a true daysman. (:

Thanks for stopping by, and for the gracious spirit of your concern.

As a follower of Christ, I have no desire to diminish his glory, or overstate my role. As Paul points out, we are all unworthy servants.

Much can be said about an article. The distinction between “a” and “the” is an important one. But I don’t think I have crossed a line here.

If I say I am going the coffee shop, my wife would probably know which one. In this sense, when I tell someone’s story for them professionally I am the daysman to them regarding that story.

Notice that I don’t capitalize it. I’m not confused about being the Daysman in any overarching sense. It is a professional moniker for being the daysman for my clients and the subjects of my stories.

Thanks again for sharing your concern.

I would like to humbly submit that Jesus Christ is The Daysman as stated in 1Ti_2:5: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
I wonder if you might better be known as “a daysman”. No offense intended, just to glorify Christ.

Absolutely great. I hope people are able to appreciate my writing even a fraction as much as they do yours.

I’d like to echo Shayna. I’m not certain I’ve ever found myself moved by someone’s “About Me” page before.

Congratulations on Freshly Pressed. I enjoyed reading the last dozen or so posts and look forward to being a regular reader. Your words to your son touched me.

Shayna-

Thanks for stopping by.

I looked at your blog, and as a southerner (Florida/Tennessee most of my life), I appreciate the journey you are sharing as well.

Clearly we on the same track in many ways.

“I’m trying to be biblically faithful and culturally thoughtful.” A masterfully poignant expression of heart and intent. It eloquently expresses my heart as well. I hope that I, too, through my writing and my living remain pure to this intent.
