About Me

off to africa...w/ a quiet smile on my face and hope in my heart."Love without courage and wisdom is sentimentally, as with the ordinary church member. Courage without love and widsom is foolhardiness, as with the ordinary soldier. Wisdom without love and courage is cowardice, as with the ordinary intellectual. But the one who has love, courage, and wisdom moves the world." -Ammon Hennacy
