You bring me to tears (but don't you dare tell anyone).
My greatest joy is to discover and nurture the talents and blessings God has bestowed upon me, it is both humbling and awesome to serve Him.
The second greatest joy is to find and join with others who follow the path less traveled. To gain the trust, respect and camaraderie of you, my few fellow travelers is both an honour and one of the areas that I can be proud of. It is not in what a man says, it is in what he does that you define him.
It is also not in the people a man hangs with that shows him honorable, it is in those who choose to hang with him. You honour me beyond that which I am worthy but by standing with me, you make me worthy of such an honour. I bow to each and everyone of you who choose to call me friend.
Onward and upward, as we are, we would not choose to do battle. But such as we are, we will not flee. It matters not whether we achieve success in our endeavours by the world's standards. We have gained that which they cannot see. We have found the secret they throw away every day. A worthy cause and a noble fellowship! When all is gone and even this age of enlightenment is forgotten, ideas that join men together will still be retold.
