Reading people's stories helps one to know who they are. This is a fun read to learn about attitudes that help one grow. It is also a cautionary tale to Believers to remember that the church is a hospital and not a museum. One doesn't have to be clean to be part of the body, a person needs to have a desire to be cleaned by the Creator who loves them and has Grace sufficient for all. Be reminded to be gentle with the young. I also learned of new recipes such as a reference to Chicken Bog. Worth the read to learn more about others.
