    When I consider the power of these little narratives, I’m reminded, on this Memorial Day weekend, of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, a speech he gave in 1863 to dedicate a portion of that battlefield as a cemetery for the Civil War dead.

    I came across a poem recently, written by a guy by the name of Ezra Pound. It is called “Ballad of the Goodly Fere”. It is written from the perspective of one of the men who followed Jesus.
