Signing off...

Thank you all for reading and thus caring this summer. Your support has greatly added to my experience. I hope that I have given you a different perspective, and even perhaps left you inspired. There really is no substitute for going out into the world in a loving manner and engaging people where they are.

I can think of no better closing than with the words that changed my outlook on life years ago and continue to shape my perspective and worldview:

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

-- Matthew 25: 34-40
