“Are you Scared?”

October 21, 2008

Every day i am asked “Are you scared?”

“You know. the economy” Are you scared no one will give?” they say.

I don’t tell them the truth. That I am always scared, that I have been scared every day. That people give each and every day is my amazement. it is my surprise every day. Every gift gives me wonderment, and now, when times are bad, even more so.

These are GIFTS. freely given. This is where my “scared’ turns to “sacred”.  Each sacerd gift adds up to create community accomplishments like Children’s Village. Last week many hundreds of thousands of dollars came in. Contributions from Don and Kathy Moen, Jack and Connie Bloxom, Independent Foods, the Dolsen family, Rich and Ann Speigel, Joe and Connie Farina to name a few.

As long as there are people like these in the world I’m not scared.
