This past week I cast two absentee ballots for the upcoming Illinois Primary on 5 February 2008. I am confident I won't be the only one voting for a man named John that day. I understand there admittedly is a difference of opinion on this site regarding whom to back in the 14th CD in Illinois, and because of this and my place in the world I will try and limit my comments to a strictly narrative nature. I am not here to persuade anybody about anything. For my brother this is a pivotal moment in the journey of the last five years. He has in the years I've been gone, matured and aged quite remarkably well. John, has always had a natural knack of bringing people together. That natural skill that God has blessed him with is something that doesn't abide in very many of us at all. This is a look back.
