Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my story, my faith. I can share my fire. I know lots about movies, I've done my fair share of traveling. I can talk and teach and share forever!
I want to learn other peoples' stories. I want to be touched by other Christians' faiths. I want to hear what has touched others. I want to learn how to cook new foods, and talk to new people about new subjects! I want to learn whatever you want to teach. And I love sharing wine with new friends.
