When we are out in our communities, are we seeing the people that are around us? I’m convinced that we have been taught how to politely ignore each other when we are in places like big stores. What happens if we really start seeing other people? I have to admit that I think I make some people uncomfortable. I don’t play by society’s rules. When I ask people how they are doing, I really want to know. God has placed us in this world with so many fascinating people—and we get the chance to truly know each other!

Don’t tell my brother and sister, but I really enjoy my relationships with them. One is five years older than me, and the other is eight years older. As a kid, I was not always a fan. They did a pretty good job of picking on me. This is amazing, since I was that adorable (and cute!) kid that every reasonable person loved!
