At my Meet and Greet gathering at Octavio’s, I ask people to introduce the person sitting next to him or her, talking about three good things about the person. People praised their sense of humor, intelligence, warm heart, sensibility, fashion taste, humble attitude, patience (many husbands praised their spouses for that), and good character. One of the men almost choaked when the wife appreciated his personality and character. When Dean talked about Gloria, however, he did not mention 3 things. He simply said, “I do not know what I can do without her!” That one sentence summarized the journey that they had had together.
I want to say the same thing for my church members of all the churches that I serve and God. “I do not know what I can do without all those church members and God!”
