A note about the Road to Rwanda series, as I'm calling it

These highlights from my personal journey will be in no particular order of prominence or chronology; the topics of all of these posts have probably been influential in a much more significant way than I realize, as have other events and experiences and people that I will fail to mention altogether. The purpose of these postings is simply to give you, the reader, a better glimpse into my thoughts and world, and for me, the writer whom these experiences and people have benefited, to not forget the path that I've trodden and the insights that I've gained along the way. Because, as C.S. Lewis so aptly put it, "People need to be reminded more often than they need to be instructed."
