I Wish I Had Such Eloquence
I've been meaning to share this with you for a few weeks. My wife, Jessica, opened her MDG fundraiser with the following comments:
"We could choose to despair over the problems of the world. We could choose to be silent about the injustices we see. We could choose to close eyes to the pain of others and become more isolated and insular as the threats of the economy loom.
"Or we could choose to hope. We could choose to speak. We could choose to see the brokenness—remembering that wounds are also doors for opportunity, for transformation, reconciliation and healing. We could choose to take the chaos that lies before us, and use it to be creative, to reshape a world in which people are more valuable than money."
Words of wisdom, I think!
