Love Like Jesus - The Rev. Philip DeVaul

 May 18, 2025

I walked up to the desk, and the lady behind the desk was the only one in the office. And as I walked up, she said, You're a DeVaul, aren't you? And I was like, yeah, I am. Now this is why that's weird to me. My brother and I don't look alike. He's a couple of inches taller than I and many pounds slimmer than I.

I used to have a lot of hair, and I had this big, thick, curly brown hair on the top of my head. And a nice little beard. And he was clean-shaven and had blonde straight hair. I mean, he looks more like my mom's side.

I look more like my dad's side. There was no reason to assume I was a DeVaul. So I said, yeah, did Grant tell you that I was coming? And she said, no, you walk just like him.

That is probably true, but no one had ever told me that. But it's an interesting idea in my mind. No one would ever confuse me with my brother or even connect us unless we stood next to you and said, We are brothers in the same family. Because in my mind, we don't look alike. We don't seem alike.
