Cushioning Cush
(When Unlikely
Candidates Soar)

He was born cursed!

Noah had done the perfect, the expected, the usual.

A father wallowing in self-inflicted disgrace required a scapegoat, and Ham offered his neck.

He ought to have known, that when a man attested by God to be “just” and “perfect in his generation” (Genesis 6: 9), slides in the course of a new project in productivity, the fall is unimaginable, often too costly to imagine.
