My first thought was that LOGWi is a dative of reference because of
your very point that it does not refer to a person. Is this
better? Maybe, but the whole context piles these datives up in
apparent parallel useage.
May all enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas. I leave next week on a
deployment to South America (USAFR Chaplain) for a month. I'll
rejoin B-Greek the second week of January. Blessings!
