But mostly deep, deep gratitude.
How many people get to come up with an idea and have rich people invest money to make it a reality? How many people get to create

Steve,
I applaud the fact that you would even begin to speak with the 7th graders about faith. I’ve learned as a speaker that young adults listen a lot more than they let on. In 10 years or so don’t be surprised if one of Gordon’s friends shares with you how something you said impacted them in a major way.
Keep living, loving, growing, and sharing, we need people like you!
