About David Denton
I am a former high school teacher (English, history, religion) with a desire to seek and know Truth, so far as it can be known. Besides writing for this column, I enjoy practicing self-therapy through poetry. I’m happily (and mysteriously) married for 34 years, and I have two young adult daughters. I write to challenge, inspire, and encourage—myself, mainly, along with any who might be reading over my shoulder.
