Interesting choice," Sullivan said. He slid his gaze over to Paul, who was drumming his fingers on the table in a manic, caffeine-inspired way and blinking a lot.

When Paul drank more than a diabetic should or we argued about petty domestic things, I would employ a kind of preemptive nostalgia, filing the episodes away under the heading A Couple's Early Years.

It helped alleviate my sense of having been duped into believing Paul would be the person to deliver me from my family, rather than imitate it. And really it was okay, and most often better than that, being the object of his desire, sensing he would never leave me. That we were safe. By Adam Haslett Years Couple Early Paul Things

Here's what's going to happen. I'll go do my postdoc work somewhere else, at a university far away from California, far away from all of you.

Despite his success as a missionary and leader, Paul was never without a wholesome, watchful fear that he himself might be disqualified (1 Corinthians 9:27).

Oswald Sanders Paul Corinthians Leader Wholesome Watchful

Paul went to his room, gathered clean clothes and headed down the hall to the shower. He made it quick, but clean. He shaved. Then he thought, I am shaving - why? To be smooth cheeked when I pass out? By Robyn Carr Paul Room Gathered Shower Clean
