I was blessed as a child to travel the world, (so it seemed) to 25 different countries. I loved how each country seemed to have a personality. I fell in love with the cultures, traditions, and people. This belief that I was a child of God instilled in me a deep love for my fellow man. When I met someone I see them as a child of God—not a color, not an ethnicity, not someone who is different from me but a brother and sister. It has shaped my view of the world. God is no respecter of persons, nor should we be. The 1st and 2nd great commandment are connected if we love God then we love or fellow man!
