Did Ronald Reagan promote the pursuit of an idol, the American Dream? Prosperity out of credit manufactured by Wall Street Bankers? Now “they” rule Washington with the lobbyists. Did we fall prey to worship idols instead of worshipping God in Spirit and in Truth? John 4:7 2 Kings 17:15. Are we now as a collective identity merely Samaritans, keepers of a well?

Dear Kirby:

I just finished watching the last half of the film by Orson Welles, The Trial (1963),
based upon the novel by Franz Kafka. Astounding. I can see why one of the reviewers to The End, My Friend, Prelude to the Apocalypse mentioned Kafka in describing some of your riffs.

Sincerely,

John Rubens
