Thanks guys.
You know, a few days ago a few of us at church were talking about personal depth and talents. Between us, simply professionally, we had a welder, a CPA, a Graduate Gemologist & jouneyman goldsmith (me), a lawyer and priest. Non-professionally, we were had a near world class golfer, a couple of Master Gardners, a successful writer, an stellar early-Church historian, an amateur brick mason and a fabulous quilter.
I'm convinced that if we'd talked more, we would have discovered another level of interests and talents.
The reason I mention this is to point out that none of us is one-dimensional. A person with a single dimension would be the most boring person in the world and would probably die because he'd bore himself to death
I was never simply a hunter, or a writer, or a precision handloader, or a goldsmith, or a watchmaker, or a devout Catholic or a student of the early-Church Fathers, or a philanthropist who loves to donate money for the fine education of worthy children. I am all of those things and much, much more.
We are all much, much more.
And that is what makes each and every one of us unique and interesting.
