This morning I spent time with 3 friends and 1 dear mentor. It marked the end of a season with a gentleman who so readily made himself available to those engrossed in the medical community. He taught us what an appropriate world view looks like – in particular, how christian faith can and should be integrated into medicine (the practice of, the technology, the ethic, etc.). He helped us think smartly, read critically, and dialogue without need of an argument to win. He is a man that I hope to emulate someday. Not because of his intellect or his influence on others, but because when I am with him – listening and watching – he reminds me of Jesus, and that makes me want to know Jesus more.
I will miss him dearly, and I hope that sometime in the future our paths will merge again.
