Conversations About Life

Tasha opened The Drip community coffee house in South Saint Louis.  It's a special and welcoming place.  There's a lot of art work on the walls and the place itself seems like a work of art.  We talk about Tasha's passion and beliefs.

Yue is from Beijing, China, but she's been all over.  We talk about that, atheism, rock climbing, caving, growing old, meaning in life, and other things as well :)

Nandini and I enjoyed a conversation about her background, the things she enjoys, and her approach to life.

Rylan had experienced a desire for God but was seemingly trapped in a bad lifestyle that kept him from God.  Cancer helped break that cycle and helped Rylan leave the past way of life behind him and draw near to God.  Now he has a desire to help others who are where he was.

Jim Thurmond is well known in the rock climbing community and has helped with the development of rock climbing crags in the Midwest.  In recent years he has purchased Fountain Bluff in Southern Ill and made that available to rock climbers.

CiCi is from Indonesia.  She enjoys rock climbing, and she enjoys her religion of Islam.  We talk about Islam and some of the ways it contrasts or is similar to my religion, Christianity.  And we also talk a bit about Indonesia and rock climbing.

Dan and Alex grew up in American Evangelicalism.  Dan is a skeptic.  Alex is still a Christian.  We talk about the Christian story ... is it good?  How Evangelical Christians regard the Christian scriptures, especially in America.  And we touch just a bit on politics.

Dan and Alex's coffee cups. I forgot to take a picture when they were here.

Sedric has a rare skin disease called scleromyxedema that effects his body and caused him to have both legs amputated.  Sedric has grown through this experience and has a positive view of life at this point.  He's 63, climbs rock, cycles, and is active.
