Some people are so quietly worthy of our admiration .......

"Your life is not about where you came from, but, rather, about where you're going. And *you* have a lot to say about where you're going"

The above quote from a man I greatly admire, Dr. Ben Carson. The context of the quote is a teevee interview on our local nooz. They've made a movie about his life (starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., as Doctor Carson). Dr. Carson was summing his view of what the movie is about.

If you don't know his story, do yourself a favor and google him up. It is worth the effort. It is a gross understatement to describe him as the world's preeminent pediatric neurosurgeon.

I shall be at the movie when it comes to town.

1. Kick and Rec.

And it's nice that this person's life was noticed.

One of the mysteries of life, to me, is about the generous, caring, amazing people who never make headlines.

3. He's very popular in Jamaica

He's closely linked to the Adventists and did a keynote speech for them a few years ago.
He's a superb surgeon and a good man, but I avoid people who are confused on matters separation of church and state.

4. Well .... yeah .... there is that.

He is deeply religious, I know t hat. I am unaware of his being a horizontal christian**, however. He has always stuck me as being much more a Vertical Christian***.


**horizontal christian: Prays loudly with eyes darting to and fro to see who is watching. Holds arms horizontal as if to keep the gaze of those around him.


***Vertical Christian: Prays quietly with eyes closed or uplifted. Raises hand in an effort to keep it all between him and his god.
