“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength…” No matter if you find yourself on eagles wings, or surrounded by ravens..know that God is here with us my friend. Let that low level of sadness turn to joy in knowing that. You will be in my prayers, along with our brothers and sisters in Haiti.

Thanks for letting us hear your heart….
A higher and greater thought, still, is that God hears your heart. He must be smiling. You are making a difference!

I have that low grade fever of sadness too. We have to be aware in order to ever seek action. This week has more than ever changed my perspective about what’s important… what really matters. There is so much hope.

Thank Barry.
Your post has helped me to break through my stiffness and cynicism to really feel for the people of Haiti.
There is the constant temptation not to feel…

Thank you for your thoughts and for your heart for the world. Please let us know if you plan to return so we can pray and support your efforts. Also if you have a team going I would consider either supporting or going myself. I too have traveled the world and have left my heart in several continents.

Just want you to know those beautiful orphans are all fine and the quake had minimal damage in the Chambrun community.

Barry, I also live with the low grade fever of sadness lurking below the surface. My joy is always tempered due to what I see and have seen with the affects of injustice and the lack of action from those who can make a difference but are too distracted by the things they think are important. Maintaining hope and giving hope is what keeps me from getting really ugly. I really appreciate your writings.
