Be Beauty!
No one needs to remind us that this world is often a dark and troubled place. As Hurricane Matthew has already done much damage in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the media drives us on to see the outrageous things they want us to see, and ignore the outrageous things that they don't want us to see.
But the fact remains. We are called to be salt and light. Perhaps that is why the Divine often speaks most clearly in the small voice of a child. Here is a beautiful thing in the midst of all the ugliness. The children of local journalist Chris Lassiter decided to be beauty... upon learning abut the devastation in Haiti, they drew pictures to sell so that they could send the money for Haiti relief. If you are coming to my show next weekend, I will have contact information, or send me a message that you are interested. Let's show these fine young people that their creative energy can indeed make a difference!
'Pray for Haiti' by the Lassiter Children.
