• I grew up in a suburb of Baltimore with an extremely high concentration of Jewish families - where the Levys and Cohens in the high school yearbook went on for pages, where I could count far more temples than I ever could churches.

• My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another.

Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear.
