Sometimes hey're exciting, ometimes compelling, ometimes heart- reaking, and sometimes nspiring. Just this onth, I spoke with a ouple in Phoenix who onveyed the story of eir "miracle baby" ho was born with a rain hemorrhage and urvived surgery atjust wo days old. Another lumnus related the joys nd challenges of a new pastorate. In San Francisco,I met one t lum who told me about bungee-jumping off a liff in New Zealand and another who recently became the youngest lected public official in is area. The FBI special gent there wasjust cing on the cake! You've told me that ou like stories, too. he majority of you who read Inspire tell me that you read the last few pages first. After all, stories offriends(as you md in Alumnotes)are always the best, so I don't mind that this column isn't the first thing you turn to! This issue ofInspire is filled with stories ... compelling,inspiring, heartwarming, challenging stories. After all, we each have a story to tell and no two stories are alike. In fact, it's amazing how different each story can be! You may be surprised at the varied things our alumni are involved with and how each one(whether in this issue or down the street from you)has a unique reason to say "Been There,Done That."
