His desire is nothing more than to provide shelter from the wind while yet giving access to the sun/Son.

We started a conversation while ordering sandwiches. Our conversation continued on the outdoor patio. I had never seen a Subway Shop with an outdoor patio, and for sure not one with a patio so well designed. It looked good and it kept the prairie winds from blowing your lunch away. To my surprise I was having lunch with the person who designed and built it. Since then I have worked with Allan on various mission and business projects and I never ceased to marvel at Allan’s sense of design, his openness and more importantly his spirit of generosity. Happy Birthday Allan and blessing in this next year.TDThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138736429098548919noreply@blogger.com
