Like me you were delighted to hear that Chloe Dao won the fashion design competition “Project Runway.” In a surprising come from behind sew off this 13 year veteran of fashion upset the favorite Daniel Vosovic. I understand the IOC is considering including Fashion Design as an olympic event to replace Baseball and Softball.
Gustav - “Bjorn looks fabulous, darling, shooting his rifle in that Chloe Dao original”
Pierre - “Not to be outdone, take a look at the two man skeleton team from Trinidad and Tobago . . . are those Vosovic knickers?”

Summary points from chapter 1 of SoulTalk by Larry Crabb:
Most people go through their entire life never speaking words to another human being that come out of what is deepest within them, and most people never hear words that reach all the way into that deep place we call the soul.
We almost never speak words that are formed in the center of our soul and pour out from our very being with power and a sense of life. And we almost never hear words that stir life within us, that pour hope into those empty spaces deep inside filled only with fear and fury and frustration.
We rarely hear words that draw our soul into the soul of another human being and, together, into God.
Most people tuck their soul out of sight and try desperately to ignore that something is missing they can’t supply. We speak few words that come out of an honest look into our soul, and few words are spoken to us that inspire the courage to take an honest look, that give us hope that painful authenticity could lead to real life.
While there are instances where my conversations have not been on this level - certainly not every conversation - there are people in my life which provide this level of intimate dialogue.
Am I missing something here?
