When I'm writing in the long shadow of Gotham, Teddy is my near constant compositional companion.

Right Reverend LaFond, that's also quoted in Luke 13:27
I re-read the Psalms about once a year and with Teddy sitting on the couch sad eyed
I could not help but note the tears on the couch.
“For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong; you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest. But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.”
-Psalm 5:4-7 (NIV)
Based on the great concern with slander in the Psalms and Teddy's white uniform, I thought we had a fit.
