The people that you meet, and again, you know, being an Anglican priest's wife for years, you get welcomed into people's lives, and you get to know people, and you see what people have overcome, and you see how people are, you know, trying to live a holy life. And it's inspiring, and it's beautiful, and it's very ordinary, you know. We are bowled over by the stories of, you know, great adventures for God, and we should be that, you know, it's amazing when people climb the mountains and jump out of the airplanes. And...but what impacts me the most, because I live a very ordinary life, and that's where that really is where the, you know, most of us are, and there's so much beautiful, you know, beautiful relationships, and that's where we're growing. And those are the stories I like to hear, and those are the stories I like to tell.
