Mr. Whitaker

Growing up, we listened to a radio drama
About a discovery emporium,
Where a godly man dispensed soda and
Wisdom, helping young people grow in grace.

I heard entertainment, but my brother heard
A dream. Let me be that man.
(Of course, the show was imaginary,
And the shop probably not profitable anyway.)

How beautiful now, decades later, that
God took that dream and said yes.
His home, filled daily with hurting and loving
Young people, churns with creativity.

Workshop, pop culture, family pain,
Questions about the Bible and the universe.

They work to establish Church among those
Who would otherwise have none.
