Jesus, my paternal and maternal forebearers..and, in this world, while artists are among my favorite kinds of people, just about anyone who comports themselves with an appreciable level of learning, civility, integrity, discipline, dedication to craft, humility and perhaps, of equal importance..gratitude. Few things uplift me as much as being in the presence of people who have a genuine desire to live their life with godly, constructive purpose and do so, whatever their station in life, be it Christian musicians in bands, schoolteachers who fervently believe their calling is to lovingly and caring educate people or homemakers who are living out God's love and righteousness before their families and others.
