This clip shows some of Jonathon's personality, captured on the train ride.

counting the graces

thank you Father for

neighbor grandma and her handmaid fruit leather

springtime purging the home of useless things

just the simple place of rest and calm with the Psalms open

looking forward to plans for Friday night

mike singing his boyish songs -- about trains, frogs, cars, etc.

little faces up close and eskimo kisses

hailing a taxi immediately when you need one

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
