| Introduction | Norm Lowry has gone from Ultra-Con to Political Dissident; from institutional church member to being madly "In Love" with our Creator; from being comfortable with pounding the crap out of humanity to public, non-violent activism; from adhering to censored media to digging in the public record. As they come for the innocents, they will now have to walk over my dead body (or listen to me talk, until my body is dead). My friends often ask if I have a death wish. The Truth is that I have a life wish. My heart is utterly broken. My only aim is to "Love Mercy" & to "Do Justice" - to lift another "above the emptiness of their unbearable life..." |
