Aside from my husband and my dad, Lars Peterson and Drake Self have been some of the most influential men in my life. I’m so grateful for the chance to talk with them a bit about how they met while at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. 

C.S. Lewis Quote: "In friendship...we think we have chosen our peers. In reality a few years' difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another...the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting--any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking, no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples, "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you," can truly say to every group of Christian friends, "Ye have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another." Friendship is not a reward for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others."

PEBBLE OF THE WEEK: Get in touch - whether in person, a phone call, a text, just something - with someone who has been a Pebble of Light in your life.
