Down by The River

Last weekend we had visitors, and we took them for a walk along our lovely Xiang Jiang River (Sweet-smelling River). The name is a misnomer, but the weather couldn't have been better! October 30th, I think, and we were all in shorts and t-shirts, even Titus.

Hi friend! We like to hear back from you. -- Rachel & Drew.

Neighbors 邻居

“It may be possible for each to think too much of his own potential glory hereafter; it is hardly possible for him to think too often or too deeply about that of his neighbor. The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. ...

"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations -- these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit. ...your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses.”

- C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
