I think we all ultimately have some past, large or small, that haunts us–for a time at least. Mine was a teenage fling that I spent a couple of years working through. But just like in Joseph’s story, God has used MY mistakes to accomplish HIS good purposes. What a great and glorious God we serve.

I’m eager to get to read the whole book–I hear you’re going to be finishing soon?

I see. The plan is to describe the figure in detail, since this is actually the first time he appears in person. He’s more just a symbol representing Ashur’s past and his. It’s only a matter of time before all of this is open to read.

I see. It ended before I thought it did. I saw the single quotation but thought it was a typo (I thought the explanation in the following paragraph was included).

I had single quotations, but now they’re double and it’s italicized. Hope that helps. I kinda consider this one of my responses to your post, in addition to the comment I wrote.

very good post. It is thought-provoking.

Perhaps, though, you should put quotations on the excerpt , or indent it so we can tell when the quotation ends. I figured it out, but it took me second to realize I wasn’t reading the story anymore. (the total change of tone helped a little bit, but it is a nice thought)
