My thoughts are on Oscar Schindler and how in the face of 6 million Jews being killed, he stood in the face of insurmountable odds and saved 1200. More than 7000 direct descendants of those people are alive today. It wasn't about winning... it was about doing what he could with what he had in the time he had been given. Powerful.Chad P.

I do not want to embrace that perspective of not being adequate to help.<br /><br />The amazing part of the story of the Good Samaritan wasn't that the man in the ditch was saved... it was that the Samaritan allowed his own life to be changed.<br /><br />I want to allow myself to be changed. It isn't about me and the people of Guate, it is about me and God.<br /><br />Every shelf built held something. And there is also meaning in that. I think of the story of the kid on the beach throwing starfish back into the sea... "it mattered to that one."Chad P.
