Dan Miller of SharperIron

Dan Miller and his wife were in Minneapolis for the Desiring God conference and Dan kind enough to connect up with me downtown today. He joined me for lunch at the ING cafeteria in my building (100 Washington).

Thanks Dan for the fellowship today.

Grandson of a slave

Ray Robinson (b 1919) dropped by to see me today. We split a diet Coke and chatted.

1. Ray was born in Alabama. His grandfather was a slave. His surname is the name of the slave-owner.
   
2. He was raised in a Christian home.
   
3. He volunteered for the Army in 1940 and served in Italy in WWII as a forward artillery observer.
   
4. After the war, he worked on the Sunset Limited as a Porter and then later on the San Francisco Chief from Chicago to San Francisco.
   
5. He later worked for the US Portal Service
   
6. Ray is a former neighbor and a brother in Christ
   
7. It was good to fellowship with him this morning
