Dear Saints in Santa Fe, and other far-off places: Greetings in the name and spirit of Jesus Christ! I babbled. Couldn’t form the words. And after I put the phone down, I screamed. It was 1987.

In Mark 7:31-37, when a man with a speech impediment is brought to him, he takes him away in private, then does a number of things to bring sound back into the man’s world.
