Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.
At a certain point, I just felt, you know, God is not looking for alms, God is looking for action.
My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.
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.

Jesus, Jesus help me. I'm alone in this world...

Let's not bequeath the pop charts to just children.
