Think Bigg

Okay, loyal readers! This will be my last post for a couple of weeks as I’m off to check things out in Chennai, India.

After about 48 hours of travel, we will be landing in India to go to work at the Little Flock Children’s Home.

I will leave you with the words of one of my personal heroes, Bono, who spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast in February 2006:

Check Judaism. Check Islam. Check pretty much anyone.

I mean, God may well be with us in our mansions on the hill… I hope so. He may well be with us as in all manner of controversial stuff… maybe, maybe not… But the one thing we can all agree, all faiths and ideologies, is that God is with the vulnerable and poor.

God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house… God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives… God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war… God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.

And if God is there, I know I will be just fine. See you when I return!
