Hal would never forget when there was a rap at the front door. He enjoyed his company more than the company of others. He started resenting people asking questions of him and never invited anyone home from school to play at his house. He told this to his mother, who admonished him that he should be grateful to have her home with him and didn’t have to go to a daycare center.īecause Hal had limited access to people, he became a recluse. He used to get mad because everyone else was going to the daycare and played with their friends for several hours after school was out, while Hal had to go home by himself and play alone. They had a beautiful home, and his mother was one of the few in the neighborhood who got to be a stay at home mother. As a child, Hal never knew what it was his father did for a living. His father’s real name was not Over, but Owen. His mom was called “Mother Lowed,” and his father “Over Lowed.” Hal remembered turning to his mother in the middle of the prayer, saying, “They just said my name!” A few people sitting near them chuckled at his boyish outburst because it was true.

Once this fact revealed itself to him, he listened for every Sunday, right along with the S’s that snaked through the congregation on the words “trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” He loved that part. When he was four years old, he realized the Lord’s Prayer said his name. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.Hal Lowed appreciated his parents’ warped sense of humor. We should fear and love God so that we do not entice or force away our neighbor's wife, workers, or animals, or turn them against him, but urge them to stay and do their duty. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. We should fear and love God so that we do not scheme to get our neighbor's inheritance or house, or get it in a way which only appears right, but help and be of service to him in keeping it.

He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty.
