Inside the Lakesider

Renew at Lakeside this summer

Guest Preacher: The Rev. Dr. L. Gregory Jones

Pool & Wellness identified as top short-term priorities

Kevin SibbringLakeside Chautauqua President/CEO

Welcome back to Lake-side! We are once again prepared to serve the many participants of the West Ohio Annual Conference here on Ohio’s Most Beautiful Mile.

You are among the many community members that return year after year and generation after generation to rekindle friendships, con-duct the important business of the church and strength-en your relationship to God in this beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Erie.

Last summer, we em-barked on a comprehen-sive planning process to develop a long-term mas-ter plan. The process con-tinues this summer, and we want your feedback.

Having identified several short-term priorities, includ-ing building a community swimming pool, enhancing wellness programming and establishing a teen center with added programming, we will be looking at all levels of programming in support of Lakeside’s mis-sion and strategic goals.

We will continue to work on the development of a master plan to ensure that our programs, grounds and spaces meet the needs of those we serve, including the West Ohio Conference.

Throughout the sum-mer, we will engage in-dividuals again through electronic questionnaires, roundtable conversations, questions posed on social

media, and posts on our blog. Currently, the staff and

Lakeside Board of Direc-tors are interviewing ur-ban planning consultants to assist us in this effort and conduct a comprehensive building analysis. Once se-lected, the firm we hire will begin their process leverag-ing community feedback.

In addition, we will be focusing heavily on growing Lakeside Chau-tauqua’s endowment.

The endowment is vital to the long-term sustainabil-ity of the community, and the Conferences benefit di-rectly from the endowment.

For example, today we provide a scholarship for clergy of the East and West Ohio Conferences to rest, renew and deepen their spiritual lives. This schol-arship comes from one of our endowment funds.

With gifts from churches, guests and residents, the to-tal endowment experienced significant growth in the last year, growing from $3.4 million to over $5.5 million.

The endowment also helps fund our Preacher of the Week program. One of our featured preachers in 2016 is Dr. Christine D. Pohl, Associate Provost and Professor of Christian Eth-ics/Church in Society at As-bury Theological Seminary. She has conducted exten-sive research about the core practices needed for a vi-brant community or congre-gation and authored Living into Community: Cultivating Practices that Sustain Us. She will lecture at Lake-

side from August 14-18. Pastors and laity are en-

couraged to attend and share some of the research with their congregations.

Also mark your calendar for August 6-8, 2017 and plan to take part in a newly established event, a Generos-ity Workshop.

Lakeside is excited to welcome the Rev. Dr. Clay-ton Smith from Church of the Resurrection for the workshop. Special thanks to the West Ohio Conference Council of Development for their partnership in this en-deavor.

As you consider your rest and renewal time, we invite you to return again this sum-mer for thought provoking Preachers of the Week, en-gaging lectures, top-notch entertainers, youth programs and special events. Please pick up a 2016 Calendar of Events brochure or visit lakesideohio.com for more information.

Once again, we are delight-ed to host the West Ohio Annual Conference and wish you many blessings for a productive and successful week. Hopefully, we will see many of you again later this summer for another Chau-tauqua experience.

It’s a brand new summer, and now, Lakesider teens will have a brand new space where they can engage in the Chau-tauqua experience together.

Previously, teens were unable to participate in all four Chautauqua pillars through the ‘Lakeside Un-derground’ program, which provided spiritual and phys-ical activities that catered to the 13-18 age group.

The concept of a Teen Center is to build on the work that had started with ‘Lakeside Underground’ and provide a physical space for teen programming in all four Chautauqua pillars.

Lakesiders are invited to tour the newly renovated Teen

Center, locat-ed in the Lower Pavilion Room, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Saturday, June 18 at our open house. Re-freshments will also be served.

The Teen Center, open to ages 13-18, includes com-fortable seating, charging stations, a Wii U, Xbox One, a foosball table, and more.

In addition, two Teen Leaders, Samantha Rydzinski and Ryan Ebbeskotte, have been hired to oversee the facility and create a sched-ule of activities for teens.

The enhancements to the Teen Center and the addition

of Teen Leaders to create a comprehensive program were made possible through the generous support for Lakeside’s third annual #GivingTuesday initia-tive on December 1, which raised more than $132,000 for the Lakeside Fund.

We would like to thank all who shared their love of Lakeside by generously sup-porting Lakeside’s teens to make this center possible.

New Teen Center opens on waterfront

Having served on the fac-ulty of Duke Divinity School and as Dean before becoming Chief International Strategist at Duke University’s Fuqua-Coach K Center on Leader-ship & Ethics, the Rev. Dr. L. Gregory Jones brings a mix of theology, social innovation and strategy to his message.

As Guest Preacher at the 10:30 a.m. Hoover Commu-nity Worship Service on Sun-day, June 5 in Hoover Audi-torium, he will encourage all to look at theology through the lens of everyday life.

The Rev. Dr. Jones’ ser-mon, titled “Live in the Spirit,” is based on Gala-tians 5:19-6:2. This passage draws our attention to what a life in the spirit looks like – a life of love, joy, peace, forbearance, kind-ness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Between 1997-2010, he served as the eleventh Dean of the school and is on leave from his faculty position to serve as Executive Vice Pres-ident and Provost at Baylor University starting July 1.

The Rev. Dr. Jones has au-thored and edited 16 books

and published more than 200 articles and essays. His most recent book is Christian So-cial Innovation: Renewing Wesleyan Witness about how churches need innovative approaches that provide re-newal, reestablished trust and cultivate sustainability.

In addition to the Hoover Community Worship Service on June 5, Dockside Service with Eucharist will take place at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, June 5 on the Pavilion East Deck.

The service will be led by the Rev. Bob Machovec preaching, “Seeing Beyond the Miracle,” based on Luke 7:11-17. All are welcome.

The Rev. Vernon Shep-herd will lead a worship service at Lakeside United Methodist Church at 9 a.m.

Lakeside invites you to experience Chautauqua

During Annual Confer-ence, Lakeside might appear as only a meeting place, but it provides a summer expe-rience dedicated to inspiring worship, religious lectures, educational seminars, cultur-al arts performances and chal-lenging recreational pursuits.

During the Chautauqua season, Lakeside welcomes several inspiring preach-ers to serve as Preachers of the Week. In addition to leading the Sunday Hoover

Community Worship Ser-vice, these guest preachers lecture daily during Faith for Living Hour to stim-ulate the heart and mind.

Hoover Auditorium also hosts a full schedule of en-tertainers throughout the summer, including Pavlo, Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone, John Tesh, Felix Cavaliere’s Ras-cals and Rhythmic Circus.

See “Renew” on page 4

During the summer of 2015, residents and guests were asked to imag-ine what Lakeside could be in the years to come.

Many needs were identi-fied, but Lakesiders noted two major, short-term pri-orities; a community swim-ming pool and enhanced wellness programming.

Health and wellness have always been integral to our mission of nurtur-ing mind, body and spirit.

In response to overwhelm-ing feedback, a Community

Taskforce was assembled to study community pools and wellness centers in or-der to make a recommen-dation to Lakeside’s Board of Directors in February.

Broad-based electronic surveys were conducted during the year to iden-

tify the most desired pool features, exercise classes and wellness education lectures.

The Taskforce assumed an aggressive timeline with a target goal of opening a pool and wellness center in 2017.

The construction of a com-munity swimming pool and wellness center is estimated to cost more than $2.5 mil-lion. The Taskforce also conducted extensive studies regarding the location of a pool and wellness center and recommended it be located on Sixth Street, just west of

the Williams Tennis Campus. Survey results also identi-

fied the top five aquatic class-es/exercises demanded were lap swimming, swim lessons, H2O strength training, aqua fitness and water aerobics.

The top five exercise classes were yoga, strength training, Pilates, Zumba and Silver Sneaker classes.

The top five wellness class-es were wellness cooking, children/youth health & well-ness, nutrition, stress man-agement and metabolism.

The Taskforce is now drafting plans and construc-tion documents for the com-munity swimming pool and wellness center. On ‘Gen-erosity’ page 6, you are in-vited to learn more about the future Swimming Pool & Wellness Center and how to support this vital project.

The West Ohio Confer-ence will gather at Lakeside Chautauqua with the theme Becoming the Beloved Com-munity – Given, the final of a four-year series on be-ing Christ’s Beloved: Taken, Blessed, Broken and Given.

Presided over by Bish-op Gregory V. Palmer, the week will include the or-dination service, memorial service, business sessions and inspirational worship.

Guest teachers are the Rev. Dr. L. Gregory Jones, Duke Divinity School, and the Rev. Dr. David L. Watson, Unit-ed Theological Seminary. Bishop Peggy A. Johnson of the Philadelphia Episcopal Area will be a guest preacher.

Just back from General Conference where he deliv-ered the Episcopal Address to a global audience on behalf of

the Council of Bishops, Bish-op Palmer will also preach and give an Episcopal Ad-dress to West Ohio members.

Since he was assigned to the West Ohio Area in 2012, he has encouraged the development of young clergy and new centers of worship, inspired the cre-ation of Circles of Grace for difficult conversations, chal-lenged churches to engage with Horizon Prison Initiative for re-turning citizens and CDF Free-dom Schools to increase youth literacy, and led West Ohio to raise more than $3.5 mil-lion for Imagine No Malaria.

This year’s conference will be live streamed at www.westo-hioumc.org/2016ac, where you will also find daily me-dia updates. Follow @westo-hioumc using hashtag #westo-hioac on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.

David HottenrothHistoric Preservation & Design Review Board

The earliest buildings in Lake-side were built in the Victorian period of the late 19th century.

After the Civil War, with the economy moving away from a ba-sis in agriculture, Americans had increasing leisure time to pursue personal interests. Wider expo-sure to art and architecture in-spired interest in historical design.

Formal Classicism gave way to new styles based on roman-tic interpretations of the past. This was supported by techno-logical developments of the day, such as new manufacturing techniques that allowed mass production of building components that were less expensive, yet more elaborate in detail.

Most Lakeside buildings do not conform to a

single style but are eclectic combinations of ele-ments from different styles created by local crafts-men using pattern books and their imaginations.

A great reference to the characteristics of the various architectural styles in Lakeside is the Gaede Serne Report, available at www.lakesideohio.com.

Lakeside Heritage Society news & events

Did you know? On Nov. 24, 1983, the Peninsular News’ Ken Miller, who was Assistant to Arthur Hoover, reported that, “The Northeast Annual Conference first came to Lakeside in 1937. The first few years it met in September and then changed to June. It has met here annually to the present. The West Ohio Conference met here first in 1949 and continues to meet annually. The West Ohio Conference rules provided that the annual conference meet within the boundaries of the Conference. Since Lakeside was outside the West Ohio Conference, special legislation was passed by the Conference stipulating that for annual Conference sessions, Lakeside was deemed to be within the West Ohio Con-ference.” Special thanks to the Lakeside Heritage Society for providing this information.

Lakeside was recently rec-ognized as a Tree City USA community at the North-west Ohio awards ceremony.

This is the fifth time our Chautauqua community has been honored with this na-tionally-recognized award.

The awards were pre-sented to Tree City USA communities by the Ohio Department of Natural Re-sources, Division of Forestry.

Andrea Torrice, Cincinnati native and an award-winning documentary filmmaker, was the keynote speaker.

She shared the story of what led to her latest film, “Trees in Trouble,” followed by the Northwest Ohio premiere of the film. “Trees in Trouble” chronicles the pressures fac-ing the country’s trees and community forests and the impacts on society as a whole.

The film will be shown

at Lakeside this summer.Lakeside received this

honor for its ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the quality of life through a comprehen-sive park and street tree man-a g e m e n t p r o g r a m .

The pro-gram is guided by the Lake-side Tree A d v i s o -ry Team, Board of Di-rectors and the Munici-pal Services Department.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Divi-sion of Forestry acts as a guiding hand in helping a community to become quali-fied as a Tree City USA.

The Urban Forester rec-

ommends a community to the Arbor Day Foun-dation for this standing.

In order to achieve the title and the honors, a

c o m m u -nity must meet the f o l l o w -ing four s t a n -d a r d s : it must have a Tree Or-dinance; an ac-

tive Tree Commission, such as the Tree Advi-sory Team or a forestry department; a compre-hensive urban forestry program supported by a minimum of two dollars per capita; and an annual Arbor Day proclamation and public observance.

The state of Ohio cur-rently boasts the great-est number of Tree Cities in the country, with a to-tal of 250 this past year.

This marks Ohio’s 39th year as the top Tree City USA state, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Divi-sion of Forestry. Fifty-five of Northwest Ohio’s com-munities have received the Tree City USA designation.

Our region also boasts one Tree Campus USA (Ohio Northern University) and one Tree Line USA (First Energy). All were recog-nized for their achievements at the awards ceremony.

Next year, the Tree City USA award ceremo-ny for Northwest Ohio will be held in Lakeside.

60th Anniversary Lakeside Art Show

2016 Important gate announcements

Janet JenningsLakeside Women’s Club President

At the foot of Walnut Av-enue, just beyond Orchestra Hall, sits one of Lakeside’s architectural treasures – the green cottage built in Steamboat Gothic style in the shape of a Greek cross.

The porch sign reads “Green Gables, Home of the Lakeside Women’s Club.”

On June 6-8 and 14-15, during the West Ohio and East Ohio Annual Confer-ences, the United Meth-odist Financial Credit Union sets up shop there. Even if you don’t have Credit Union business, you are welcome to vis-it and rest on our porch or patio area out back.

Most agree that Green Gables was built in

1883 by three Hubbard brothers and pat-terned after cottages on Martha’s Vineyard.

The Lakeside Associa-tion bought the house in 1884 and sold it that same year to Mary A. Cooke. Alice Cooke, Mary’s sis-ter, owned it next, and it became a boarding house.

In 1927 A.L. Hoover, General Manager of Lake-side, persuaded Alice to return the cottage, which by then had stood empty for several years, to the Association to be fixed up and turned over to his wife, Bessie, to become the official club house for a woman’s group.

Bessie held an organiza-tional meeting in her home on June 7, 1928, and was elected the first president. By the end of the 1928

season, membership in the Lakeside Woman’s (later changed to Women’s) Club stood at an astonishing 623.

Green Gables remains the official clubhouse of the Lakeside Women’s Club, still a thriving organization but whose membership has leveled off to about 150.

Bessie’s wicker fur-niture is still in use.

While no longer a board-ing house, we do rent the upstairs bedrooms to con-ference attendees and oth-ers through Labor Day.

Our library has served Lakesiders for 75 years.

Membership is open to all who come to Lake-side Chautauqua for a day, a week or the sea-son and pay $15 dues.

Main fundraisers include the Tour of Homes on Thurs-day, July 28 and a Book

Sale on Sunday, July 31. In addition to the library

and an ongoing thrift shop called “The Corner Cup-board,” seasonal activi-ties include weekly meet-ings with guest speakers, Monday morning and af-ternoon book discussions, Friday film and book re-views, bridge, mahjong,

a girls’ club, education-al activities for girls and boys in coopera-tion with The Fine Print bookstore, and knit-ting afghans for charity.

If you have questions about the Lakeside Wom-en’s Club, the Resident Hostess, Lois Weller, will be happy to answer them.

Generosity Page 6

Lakeside is undertaking an exciting, new initiative to raise funds for constructing a community swimming pool and building a wellness center.

Swimming TodayLast summer, Lake-

side closed the beach a number of times due to a record algal bloom.

Since Lakeside lacks a swimming pool, many com-munity members are traveling off the grounds to other desti-nations to use pool facilities.

Lakesiders are also tak-ing aquatic classes at the indoor high school pool thanks to our partnership; however, class times are lim-ited and demand is rising.

One Lakesider com-mented that “it is the piece of the recreation puzzle that has been missing.”

Wellness TodayThe demand for addition-

al exercise classes is rising quickly as many community members want exercise op-tions when away from home.

The limited wellness classes offered at Lakeside include two yoga classes and a reflexology class.

One class is offered in the Upper Room and the other is offered on the East Pavilion Deck.

The Upper Room has limited space and does not have good air circulation for these types of classes.

With both spaces, booking times are limited due to the high facility usage rates across the Lakeside grounds com-bined with growing demand for additional classes in a cli-mate controlled environment.

Imagine a Pool & Wellness Center

The community envisions a swimming pool and wellness center allowing individuals and families to gather for var-ious opportunities. This area would complement today’s recreational activities as well when Conferences, groups, families and individuals visit.

Swimming PoolAfter dreaming about a

pool and wellness center, we now have an opportu-nity to make this a real-ity. A community swimming pool is a timeless treasure.

Through questionnaires, individuals expressed a desire for a pool with features such as heated water, zero depth entry, lap lanes, shaded seat-ing areas, small waterslide and play features for children.

Individuals also expressed the need for aquatic pro-gramming that would in-clude water aerobics, aqua fitness and swim lessons.

A community swim-ming pool is one sum-mer activity missing from your annual Conference and Lakeside experience.

Wellness Center Today, healthend well-

ness is a global movement, spanning all generations.

It is imperative that Lakeside continue to en-rich offerings that nurture mind, body and spirit. It is integral to our mission.

The community expressed the need for a dedicated wellness center with a wide range of exercise offerings.

Cost, Business Plan & Financing

The construction of the community swimming pool and wellness center is esti-mated to cost more than $2.5 million. Each year, Lakeside will have operating expenses for the facility and program.

Program staff wages, utilities, concession opera-tions and chemical and me-chanical operations will be the majority of annual expenses and are estimat-ed to be around $130,000.

Annually, Lakeside will set funds aside in a reserve ac-count, which would be a fixed amount each year to help us maintain the infrastructure. Projections are being made about income to help offset some of the expenses re-

lated to the annual budget. In order to finance the

construction of a pool and wellness center, Lakeside will rely on gifts of all siz-es from residents, guests and Conference attendees. These will come in the form of pledges, cash or stock.

Families may wish to plan for a multi-year commit-ment. If the commitments and gifts received total $2.5 million, Lakeside is com-mitted to breaking ground.

The Time is NowThe need for a swimming

pool and wellness center spans across all genera-tions and has been a dream at Lakeside for many years.

Think about how all of our other spaces in Lakeside have become gathering places for the entire community dur-ing Conference week. We are certain the same would be true of this new facility.

Experts tell us with cer-tainty that the health of Lake Erie is in jeopardy, and that it will not change signifi-cantly in the next decade.

It is vital that we provide an alternative place for swim-ming for our Conference at-tendees, residents and guests.

Uniting as a community, we can accomplish the building of a community swimming pool and wellness center that will benefit future generations, and we will continue to be a visible advocate for restor-ing the health of Lake Erie.

The time is now, and the need is urgent. Your financial support is needed to help make the vision of a swimming pool and wellness center a reality.

You are invited to stop by the Pool & Wellness Booth at the back of Hoover to make a donation and learn more about the project.

This summer, join our Lakeside Conver-sations taking place at 3:30 p.m. Mondays from June 20-July 25.

These meetings give the community a chance to gather and continue discussing the master planning process and Pool & Wellness Initiative. Lakesiders will also have the opportunity to meet Board members, staff and even fellow Lake-siders to help plan for the community’s future.

attend one of our con-versations, visit www.lakesideohio.com/news and click on the ‘Pool & Wellness Planning’ page to fill out an elec-tronic comment card and stay up-to-date on the exciting things hap-pening at Lakeside. We value your participation and genuine thoughts.

Community Swimming Pool & Wellness Centerare vital needs at Lakeside Chautauqua You are invited to Lakeside Chautauqua for a two-day

generosity and stewardship workshop from August 6-8, 2017. Pastors, clergy and laity involved in stewardship and

finance, development directors, consultants and re-searchers are welcome to participate in this program.

Sessions will be interactive in nature and provide attendees the opportunity to learn about stewardship and generosity.

Lakeside is excited to welcome the Rev. Dr. Clayton Smith, Executive Pastor of Generosity at Church of the Resurrection, J. Clif Christopher, author of Not Your Par-ent’s Offering Plate and President at Horizons Stew, and Jeff Taylor, United Methodist Foundation of West Virginia.

Breakout sessions will focus on:• Conducting a generosity and stewardship audit • Understanding of legacy giving • Investigating endowments and the vital importance• Developing different plans to build a culture of

generosity: appeals, financial report, communications, devotionals and worship services

• Finding out about capital campaigns and the important steps

• Cultivating community members and educating about generosity

Building a network of support while growing gen-

erosity in your local church or non-profit organiza-tion is integral to success and there will be plenty of time throughout the two-day experience for networking.

Through this workshop, participants will have an opportunity to connect with a network of individu-als who are working to grow a culture of generos-ity, inspire those serving in the ministry and equip Christian leaders to transform faith communities.

Volunteer at the Rhein Center

Explore your creativity at the Rhein CenterLakeside Chautauqua houses a

treasure in Epworth Lodge, located on the corner of Walnut Avenue and Sixth Street, known as the C. Kirk Rhein, Jr., Center for the Living Arts.

Arts programming began there on Aug. 8, 1999, thanks to a generous gift from the Rhein family, and their

friends, in memory of their son, Kirk. The Rhein Center provides class-

es across the entire spectrum of the arts for Lakesiders of all ages. Classes are taught by artists and artisans who share a passion for inspiring creativity.

Each week brings new instructors and new class offerings in areas such

as drawing, painting, crafts, pottery, dance, fiber arts, glass, writing, jew-elry and theatre. Classes vary in skill level, length and number of sessions.

Online registration and pay-ment opens at 12 p.m. Thursday for the following week’s classes.

Those who need help registering or

wish to pay in cash or by check may visit the Rhein Center from 1-3 p.m. Sunday, Weeks 1-10. Additional registration is available throughout the week, as space permits.

Free daily drawing and writing prompts, called ARTrageous Pag-es, are available for pick-up on the Rhein Center porch Monday-Friday.

As if there weren’t enough new and exciting things at Lakeside this summer, there are now two new Rhein Center staff members to welcome when you return – Michelle

Johansen and Ellen Venema.Neither of these ladies

are new to Lakeside, so you may even recognize them.

Johansen first caught the Lake-side bug in 2004 when she stayed at the Idlewyld Bed & Breakfast with her husband, Bill, and two sons, Bobby and Zach. After that, the Johansen family was hooked.

Yearly, Johansen has returned and taught classes at the Rhein Center. Why has she come back ev-ery summer since? Reasons famil-iar to most of us; she feels a great sense of community and peace.

Her younger son has even said, “It feels just like heaven here.”

When she spends time at Lake-side, Johansen likes to “read down by the lake, walk in the mornings, bike in the afternoon, visit with friends, go to the show at Hoover in the evening, and anything else that looks interesting” – a real testament to all the different things to get involved with at our Chautauqua.

As the new Rhein Center Coordi-nator, she has big plans for everyone’s favorite place to indulge in the arts.

Johansen is implementing eve-ning classes at the arts center, so

there are even more chances to get creative and learn something new.

She says that there will be an emphasis on what she fondly calls “family art” some days and “adult art” on others. Family art will give family members of all ages the opportunity to come together and create something meaningful.

Venema has been coming to Lake-side with her family most of her life, and has even lived and worked here before. Now, she’s back as the Rhe-in Center Assistant Coordinator.

While working at the Rhein Cen-ter last summer, she met students of all ages who had been coming to Lakeside for years, but had never vis-ited the arts center and taken classes.

Venema hopes to spread the cre-ativity and love of art at the Rhe-in Center to everyone she can and to “bring even more variety of fun arts opportunities to people who want to try something new.”

She loves to learn new things, especially when it comes to the arts and humanities.

Last summer at the Rhein Cen-ter, she enjoyed the opportunity to try out new techniques in her art.

New faces at the Rhein Center this summer

Q & A with staffGet to know the new staff

at the Rhein Center, Michelle Johansen and Ellen Vene-ma. Read their article below.

Q: If you were strand-ed on an island but could pick one meal to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be?Michelle: It would have to be something Indian because I love Indian curries. I would choose samosas with tama-rind chutney for an appetizer, followed by vegetable biri-yani with yogurt cucumber sauce, and finally, rice pud-ding with cardamom for des-sert, and green tea to drink.Ellen: I would choose tur-key, potatoes, green beans, nectarines and chocolate.

Q: If you were an item in a refrigerator what would you be and why?Ellen: The bag of shredded coconut that lives a quiet life in the back until you need it again and are thrilled to find it there. Sweet, a little nutty and always there when needed.

Q: If you could have a meal with any person who would it be and why?Michelle: If I could share a meal with any person today it would have to be Pope Fran-cis because he is such a shin-ing example of how to live a beautiful Christian life. Being in the shadow of his presence, would be so inspiring and humbling at the same time.
