FYI

Two messages from MCC I thought I'd pass on as you all prepare for Christmas... and as many of the young folks I know are starting to think about post-high school and post-college plans, or simply contemplating the question, "what am I doing with my life?" To those of you who have admired what I'm doing and questioned your own ability to serve in a similiar manner, consider supporting MCC financially and/or applying for a SALT term of your own. Seriously, it's worth being the "weird one" who doesn't go straight to college or grad school or start in the working world simply to have the chance to see life from a perspective so different from the one you're accustomed to.
