Trust in the Lord

I learned something new today--how salmon are able to negotiate up and over waterfalls.  

                                                               

Matching Funds

Organizations like International Rescue Committee (IRC) reach out to help refugees all over the world like these Syrian children in the above photo.  IRC sent me an e-mail telling me that if I donated money right now the Newman's Own Foundation would match my donation.  How could my heart refuse such an offer!  

Into the Woods: Solitude

 ♫Solitude♫

"We all suffer, at times, from the effort to study something instead of living it.  Or from the effort to fix or advise rather than to listen and to hold....So often when we refuse to listen, we become obsessed with remaking the world in our own image, rather than opening the spirit within us to the spirit of what is." --Mark Nepo

Why We Help Others

"There is a difference between helping someone because you will lose their love or some sense of your own image as a caring person, and helping someone because your impulse of heart moves you to their aid." --Mark Nepo
