What I want for my birthday… By Jonathan Walton - Posted January 15, 2013 harold

This was my favorite book when I was a kid – hands down. Why? Because when something wasn’t there Harold picked up a pen and drew it. The ability to take nothing to something fascinated me. When I got a bit older when I read the Bible, I was fascinated by what people did not [...]
