John and Jesus
 

29The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, "Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.' 31I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel." 32And John testified, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' 34And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God."

Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
I can never be what I ought to be
until you are what you ought to be.
This is the interrelated structure of reality.

Thursday evening we had a wonderful treat!
Greg Mortenson, author of Three Cups of Tea,

spoke at Evergreen High School.
The turnout wasn't as large as originally expected ...
perhaps because of the very cold weather.

"Pennies for Peace" was started in Wisconsin at a school where Greg's mother was principal.
One of the main Pennies for Peace groups today is in Evergreen, Colorado, as is one of Greg's
main organizers.
 
Evergreen Middle School presented him with a check for $1502.11.
 
 
 
 
 
We'd never know how high we are
till we are called to rise;
and then, if we are true to plan,
our statures touch the sky.

35The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, 36and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, "Look, here is the Lamb of God!" 37The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
