Broken with hope (the kind kind). Enough about me...
I'd like to meet the mommy of one of the 30,000 kids that starved to death yesterday and tell her I'm really sorry I didn't do anything to help. I hope she thinks my profile pic is cute.
"How can we enjoy pleasures admist the calamities of our bretheren? May God preserve me from being rich while they are indignant, from enjoying robust health if I do not try to cure their diseases. From eating good food, clothing myself well, and resting in my home, if I do not share with them a piece of my bread, and give them in the measure of my abilities part of my clothes, and if I do not welcome them into my home." - Gregory of Nazianzus
"A person has to be thoroughly disgusted with the way things are to find the motivation to set out on the Christian way. As long as we think the next election might eliminate crime and establish justice or another scientific breakthrough might save the environment or another pay raise might push us over the edge of anxiety into a life of tranquility, we are not likely to risk the arduous uncertainties of the life of faith. A person has to get fed up with the ways of the world before he, before she, acquires an appetite for the world of grace." - Eugene Peterson
