Endlessly fascinated

“If you approach each new person you meet in a spirit of adventure, you will find yourself endlessly fascinated by the new channels of thought and experience and personality that you encounter.” — Eleanor Roosevelt
Even within a single culture or location, there are no two people alike. In fact, I’ve never known any two people who were even close to being identical in personality, interests or beliefs. Given the number of people in the world, this is pretty amazing to me. And each person has a unique history and a complex, multi-faceted story. So many potential friends…so little time!

And that’s just for starters. 🙂 Jeff and I always dreamed of doing a lot of traveling when he retires, and I pray fervently that will be possible for us. Please keep praying with us that Jeff’s treatment will save his life.
We are…
