The Stuff rule

Dear Friend,

Just brought this home as a souvenir from Italy. Usually I don't buy such things. At this point in my life, I'd much rather get rid of stuff then add to it. But I do tend to buy things that help me remember. Why a Pharisee for the Fontanini Christmas nativity at our house? Because it's good to be able to find yourself in a story. And I remember when I was one.

I found myself thinking about you today. Just know I'm thankful for you. Because once upon a time, when I was a Pharisee, and you were still compassionate to me. So thank you. For what it's worth.

thus spake,

me
