Syrians

We just stopped for breakfast at a little pastry shop in Kalamazoo. The Victorian Bakery. They have hired a Syrian youth who is in high school and holding down three jobs including baking treats on Saturdays. We went expressly to sample his work. He makes Fattayer in different styles. What a wonderful breakfast! And we wouldn't have this wonder to try without him. This young gentleman is a resettled refugee and my life is measurably better with him in our community.

There is wisdom in the plaque at the bottom of the Statue of Liberty. These people have places here, with us. They all do.
