We get what we deserve. I suppose it is reasonable -- albeit
appropriate! -- to credit Reverend Bob Larson's inadvertent role here
with regard to Ken's fate, predicated upon his longtime magnificent
obsession with BL. If I had a dollar for every time I related to Ken
that he's in a lose-lose situation, I'd own Viti Levu by now. This is
what is so beautiful about Ken's quagmire: BL never once got down in
the mud with Kenny :) Ken is still in the hearts of those who still
care enough about him to pray for him with the power of God's
word.
