Assume we are always in conversation with God and that everything we do, say, think, and feel is a prayer. What sort of impressions are we leaving based on the conversations we have with God? My prayer book is an ongoing conversation with God, sometimes mediated through Steele, on the thoughts and questions I have about life, God, the world, and whatever comes across my mind or out of my soul.

R. Kirk Steele is my best friend, boyfriend and future husband. He died of cancer on April 17, 2009.

Every time I hear someone speak about Steele it’s like I'm learning something new about him. It’s amazing how each person observes something different about him, or has another piece of the puzzle to fill in about his life experience. I’d like to piece the puzzle together, so we all can tell the story of our Man of Steele, not just from our own perspective, but from the collection of experiences.

So if you have a story to share, or a thought to offer, please share it in the comments. You don’t have to romanticize it; even a mundane encounter is a gift, so share whatever your spirit calls you to share. Share as many stories as often as you wish. Write a book for all I care. I figure even in his death, together, we can get to know him a little better.
