Imagine waking up to find that everyone cared -- really cared -- mostly about the right things.
The other day the rector asked for contributions to an "End 68 Hours Of Hunger" campaign.
With initial disbelief, I heard him explain that the project aims to provide food to children who are so poor that they get nothing to eat in the 68 hours between the subsidized school snack they get on Fridays and the subsidized school breakfast they get on Mondays.
It's real hard to get an education when your stomach is shriveled from prolonged hunger.
For a sec, I though about trying to go without eating for 68 hours....then I dropped an appropriate gift in the plate.
On the list of "right things to care about," feeding hungry children is right up there.
