A while ago I was using self check out at the library and one of my books wouldn't check out. A library worker asked if I needed help. His voice startled me. Not in a scared way, but more of an in awe kind of way. It's not that I wasn't expecting his voice - I was. It's just that his voice was so gentle. I've heard soft / shy / friendly / patient voices, but this was the first time I've actually heard gentle. His voice immediately made me feel at ease. First time that has ever happened to me. I really think that is what Jesus' voice sounds like.
People people: they blow my mind.
Another people person I know is Bishop Schwab - my bishop from Salt Lake. He brings out the best version of everyone. I feel like I am the smartest, prettiest, funniest, most interesting person in the world when I'm talking with him. Some people really do have gifts and really are people people even if I am not. And because they are people people, for just a minute when I am with them I am too.
Do you know anyone like that?

My uncle Dave and aunt Patti are like that. They live in Connecticut and make me feel so good cause when you are talking, it's as if you are the only person that matters.
