I was visiting with my friend Jack Jackman the other day. Jack and I have known each other for many years. And, I usually see him at one of the many Blue Elevator™ satellite offices (aka, Starbucks).
I always enjoy catching up with him on the various things going on at our local churches, the community, and businesses.
