The ONE THING 
Dear Brother Dave, Over the years I have been privileged to read your commentary, you have produced some thought provoking, insightful and yes even powerful words – but todays excerpt from your mission statement – the most awesome and inspiring yet. I really think those few simple but poignant words should be read, taken to heart and applied by everyone across this great country after all the division of the past 8 years. Show a little simple grace to your neighbor.
