The apples don't fall far from the tree . . .

Gil Costello

My dear friend, Gil Costello, one of the most amazing, inspiring, courageous, and irrepressibly joyful people I've ever known, (shown above) brought his grandson, Asher, to this morning's Emmaus Road Initiative session in Seattle. Young Asher, whose face was as pure and innocent as any child I've ever seen, worked quietly during our session, and when we adjourned, he handed me this drawing as a gift. Christ crucified.

Ah, it's little moments like this.
