I didn’t finish my encouragment posts. I’ve got three more I need to land. Won’t all be today but here’s Harry’s.
Harry is a recovered (he would say ‘recovering’) alcoholic. He is a self-described ragamuffin-saved-by-grace-Jesus-lover. He’s also one heck of a friend. I’ve learned pacing from him. Travelling with Harry forces you to slow down. Mainly because Harry doesn’t do anything in a hurry and he’s too big to intimidate to speed up.
Which is incredibly odd given the amount of coffee he drinks. He’s the guy that will sit and listen and talk for hours. He’s just not going to get in a hurry. If you are with Harry, you are the center of attention. No phone calls or other interruptions. Just you and him. How much better has that little thing made us in youth ministry? Heaven only knows.

Don’t forget that he might have Mob connections. He is always at home and always takes everyone out to eat.
