Met with a friend of mine, John, for breakfast this morning. John Hedapohl has agreed to be a spiritual mentor for me, something I really haven't taken advantage of since we agreed to start doing this six months ago. We met today and I remember why I need this in my life. John has an amazing balance of knowledge, reflection and practicality of life, people and faith that I need. When I imagine a conversation with Jesus, I think it would be a lot like my conversations with John. Lots of listening, openess, acceptance, truth and love.
