Gladiator

I love my job... I feel like I get paid to just... live. I work with one other minister named Dale who has helped me keep my focus on keeping my work as not just a job but something more. I first met Dale briefly before he was off to Albania for 6 weeks. I was new and alone and unsure how we would hit it off. Well, I suppose after nine years of working in the same job says something. Dale is a brilliant man, he is currently working on his doctorate in ministry and holds two masters above his undergrad work. All of this and he still talks to me. Dale has a lot of passion and has a heart for truth. When something hits him, he'll share it with you whether you like it or not. He has a heart for ministry. He visits the elderly and those who are ill and in the hospital. He always prays for them and their family, a difficult thing to do when it looks as if all is lost. However, Dale reminds us of our true home. Something that's funny is, his favorite movie is Gladiator. I'm not sure if it's because he wants to swing a sword around, but hey, who wouldn't want to do that? I think it's because the story line has a strong sense of doing right, even if it cost your life. He is a strong family man and a wonderful example of how to act and sometimes how not to act as a husband and father. Just ask him... he'll tell you. It is a joy to be on his team. peace. johno~
