Always Passing Through (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781548149772)

Here's the gist, in chronological order: tried to hitchhike to Canada, asked to leave Canada, asked to leave a truck stop in Montana, met a man who met God and swore God was a horse, is convinced the man was right, thought Seattle got nuked when Mount St. Helens blew its top while he was in the vicinity, married an artist and farmer's daughter, got a degree in philosophy, moved to inner-city Philadelphia, worked with the homeless, got a Master's degree in Divinity, moved to Apache, OK., worked at the church where Geronimo had been a member, moved to the Dakotas, got fired for asking the senior pastor to quit bashing gays from the pulpit, got degrees in chemistry and education, taught high school, taught adjunct at colleges and universities, hung his art in galleries, sold his art in galleries, got his poetry rejected, started Scurfpea Publishing, had a 3-legged cat, now has a diabetic cat and a "normal-ish" cat who taps him on the mouth with her paw when she wants food, had a dog, built a radio telescope (with help) and saw super-cold clouds of hydrogen in space, lets forbs grow where nature plants them in his yard, lives in a house that cants to the southeast, still married. Along the way he has worked as a janitor (specializing in toilets), teamster, dishwasher, lecture writer, security guard (ask him about getting cornered by the pack of feral dogs), data entry operator, house painter, lumber jack, overnight staff at a homeless shelter, probably a few things best forgotten. Steve Boint has published extensively in lunar topographical studies and has also published a few articles on theology and a few poems in Journals. Several books of his poetry have been published by Scurfpea (from the lonely cold, Frail As Paper, Elsewhere, and Holiday Street) as well as a theological examination of the role of nature in biblical thought (Did Jesus Die for Dogs?).
