sharing her awesome life and her desire to have community while doing it!
Happy TribeLife Tuesday!
Today is an exceptionally special day. Today, I am privileged to
invite you to sit down at the vast banquet table where there is more than
enough. The plate I am bringing to the table overflows with honor, gratitude,
some pain, joy, sorrow, and an immeasurable amount of love and I am so excited
to share.


His name was Eli. I had tried avoiding writing his name because it
makes it that much more tangible, but you deserve to know the name of this
incredible man. I loved so much about him, but there’s not enough time to share
all of that, so I’ll share my top few favorite things.
- I love that he knew no orphan. He was a father to all who needed one.
- He was a jokester and I have been embarrassed by his jokes and outlandish behavior in public far too many times to remember.
- He was an avid Star Trek fan and you were going to know it.
- I loved that he wore joy like no man I’ve ever met. It was fiercely masculine yet incredibly gentle.
- His skills were rich and varied: he could be performing stand-up comedy while simultaneously conducting a private investigation and be great at both. He was special.
- He loved well, gave big, and deposited all he could in the legends he leaves behind, his family.
A poignant man whose influence is yet to be fully felt has moved on
to the best place there is!
A life well lived indeed.
Thank you for reading!
See you next Tuesday,

P.S. I also knew this wonderful man. Carrie's words only scratch the surface. May we all go home to our savior with people saying, "Wow. Now THAT was a great human being." -- Wendi
