David L (Dave) Danielson is a retired Lutheran pastor of 35 years. He helped establish two new congregations, was a university chaplain, and a community organizers in Asia. He is iconoclastic, contrarian, and a confirmed doubter. He affirms doubting as a legitimate aspect of faith. He is less certain of answers now than he was at the time of ordination but is even more confident about dwelling in an affirming universe. In retirement he has been a Florida court mediator, a mission coordinator for Angel Flight SE, a writer (five books), a practicing grandfather (four offspring), an irresponsible dog-sitter, and a forgetful husband. The most important question in real life and for his fictional characters is to wonder on what basis does a person believe.
