…writing in Costa Rica, a poem… The plaza surrounds the cathedral With concrete pavers Boys on skateboards sliding across space and time Brown-skinned mamas, babies in slings Trucks and vegetable vendors, holding out dirty nails and strands of garlic Laughing exchanges between old men These towns are built from the inside out Beginning with la [...]
(Me, IJM Staffers Daria Wilson and Amy Lucia, Sara Groves) I’ve been hearing about International Justice Mission for a while now, primarily in association with my friend Sara Groves who has been a passionate supporter and contributor to IJM. Interestingly, we had just recently talked about IJM and the possibility of my contributing at some [...]
Great songs are born when they are born. Great books are read and digested slowly. The tide of spiritual understanding ebbs and flows to a rhythm we can’t force.
