What We Would Have Missed

Posted in Life on April 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Too often we focus on what separates us from other people. Muslims believe this and we don’t. Christians believe this and we don’t. It is important to know what makes us different, but I hope we never let the things that make us different blind us from the things that bring us together. We both [...]
