I'd like to meet:
The young boy I support in Uganda, Juma Micheal and Apolo Anton Ohno...and if life keeps running me into Jon Foreman, I'd have to say that I'm pretty okay with that! ("If unity is anything, it's a fight."...or..."If unity is anything, it's a struggle." Take your pick.)...Why does Jon keep stealing my lyrics? (just jokes...kinda...)...AND Rich Mullins - I so admire the way that man lived his life._________________..
