People I Admire

I admire a lot of people,some know it,some don't. They say that the people that influence and inspire us most,are the most surprised that they do. First,and foremost,I admire my bride of almost 22 years, Teresa ,for putting up with yours truly. Enough said. In no particular order,I will mention over the course of time those people that I admire. Wassinger,my wife's co-worker,who gives up a lot of things that she wants to take care of her father.My friend Mark,who commutes to Batavia and back every day in all sorts of weather.I know I wouldn't want to do it,nor would I.Mark also has the ability to laugh at himself,and we have shared many experiences over the years that have given us many opportunities to laugh at each other,and ourselves. I love him like a brother.My brother -in- law and author Jim,who's work ethic,Godly wisdom,and the ability to always get a nap in bless me. In coming days,I will speak of others,but these are among many who have influenced me. My brother in Christ, Ken,prays a great prayer,one that we all should pray: "Lord,allow me to be a blessing to someone today."
