Today I was gobsmacked (flabbergasted, astounded, speechless, overawed). Why? Because a good friend from Pasadena sent me the following. He and his wife purchased 20 of my calendars and gave them to co-workers with this message: "This past year our country and our world have been filled with divisiveness, vitriol and misunderstanding. People have been separated by politics, race, religion, and socio-economic status. And so, as we come to this holiday season and the end of 2016, Marianne and I are especially grateful for those among us who are peacemakers. An outstanding example is our long-time friend from Seattle, Andy Larsen. Andy’s work focuses on reconciliation and developing understanding among Christians, Muslims, and Jews. In addition to his gift of peacemaking, Andy is an amazing photographer. We hope you will be inspired by his photographs, as well as by the quotes he has included about peacemaking on each month of his 2017 calendar. May we all move into the New Year as peacemakers."
Thanks Randy!
