I told you this was
going to be a great interview.
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.03
Dr. Larry Evans,
thank you so much.
00:00:03.06\00:00:04.70
We only have a few seconds.
00:00:04.73\00:00:06.60
How is this work changing you?
00:00:06.63\00:00:10.21
Well, the work
continues to change
00:00:10.24\00:00:12.84
because these
people are speaking to me,
00:00:12.87\00:00:16.28
these people's needs
00:00:16.31\00:00:18.31
but also their
gifts are speaking to me.
00:00:18.35\00:00:20.95
I think of, for example,
what Mark Twain once said,
00:00:20.98\00:00:24.19
"Kindness is a
language the deaf can hear
00:00:24.22\00:00:26.86
and the blind can see."
00:00:26.89\00:00:28.52
I want to be a kinder person.
00:00:28.56\00:00:30.06
Amen.
00:00:30.13\00:00:31.46
I want to be the kinder person
00:00:31.49\00:00:32.83
that a deaf person
feels comfortable with
00:00:32.86\00:00:34.36
or a blind person
00:00:34.40\00:00:35.73
or someone who is struggling
with that mental challenge
00:00:35.76\00:00:39.00
or living with
someone like that,
00:00:39.03\00:00:40.87
I want them to know
that we care for them.
00:00:40.94\00:00:43.17
And you know, truly as
the quote you read first,
00:00:43.20\00:00:47.91
this is something that makes
us a little more like Jesus,
00:00:47.94\00:00:51.38
it develops our character.
00:00:51.41\00:00:52.75
Changes our character.
Thank you for being here.
00:00:52.78\00:00:54.58
Our prayer for you at home
00:00:54.62\00:00:55.95
is that the grace of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
00:00:55.98\00:00:58.85
the love of the Father,
00:00:58.89\00:01:00.26
and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit
00:01:00.29\00:01:02.16
will be with you always.
00:01:02.19\00:01:04.03
