This is for my friend Joel, who doesn't get nearly enough recognition. In this world of ours there are two kinds of people: talkers and doers.
I'm a talker, Joel's a doer.
I talk about music, he's recording an album.
I talk about film, he directs a film*.
I talk about literature, he writes a short story.
Did I mention that he also does all these things well?
God bless you Joel! And keep up the good work. I'm proud to know you.

Joel is the vigilant keeper of three weblogs:
Eucharisto - the one all of you know about,
The Grace Of Saint John Of The Cross - a more liturgical blog with special emphasis on the contemplative life
and
Animadverto - his photo blog.
Enjoy! And encourage Joel as he strives to do that for which he was made.

*with Superman! I haven't forgotten you!

Amen. I to am honored to know you, even if I only met you for a short while. It was a short while well enjoyed.
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all who wander are lost..."
Joel signs his emails with this quote, and I think he's much like the man it describes, a king hidden in normalcy. To Joel, we all love you and think you're a hidden king, it's nice to see you recognized!
Thanks Foolish Knight!
Joel,
Like it has been said I am honored I can count you as one of my friends. I think back to when someone told you how incredible your talents were. You said you wish you were all that the person said you were but you knew in your heart you were not. I think Joel because of that heart you are far more.
Wow! I don't know exactly what to say, except, thank you! A little affirmation goes a really long way for me. Also, to foolishknight, I wouldn't be half the artist I am if it weren't for your artistic insight. As it says in Proverbs, Iron sharpens Iron. You have truely sharpened me, and I too am proud to know you as well!
