Where the River Ends - Charles Martin [137]
Band-Aid, Scoop, and Sportmodel—Don’t ever sell your dream at the altar of convenience, money, laziness or, worst of all, fear. One day you’ll understand this. Probably about the time you need to hear it. Forgive me if I ever get in the way of that. I love you.
Christy—for fifteen years, for letting me do this, for loving me when I’m not loveable—which is more often than I care to admit, for forgiving me when I’m wrong…and for giving me the freedom to dream.
Lord—Son of David…I want to see.
