The Rev. Eugene Stockstill

True confession: I’m a positive fellow. In the words of one old song, “I’m a cock-eyed optimist.” An old editor once told me she was willing to concede the glass was half full, but she wanted to know what in the devil happened to the other half. Me? I’d drink up and be happy.

I don’t say this for a pat on the back, but because of something that slapped me across the kisser the other day. Positivity can turn toxic.
