I clapped all the way to the end of my clapping turn, because....

I value anyone who can bring images to life with words. I adore truly gifted storytellers. I admire the parents of young men and women who inspire the capacities so evident in Jones' writing. I like people who show me worlds I cannot see without them. More than anything, even the smallest glimpse inside the spiritual world outside Christianity fills me with awe and wonder and hope.

Thank you Mr. Jones, for taking the time to write this piece.
