One bit of inspiration from my day
Watching this came at a very important time for me. I’ve been wrestling about what on earth my part in bringing justice and change to the world is. I still don’t know, but I know that Bono says a mouthful, in his acceptance speech at the NAACP Awards.Â

Where did you go in Africa?
THanks again!
Thank you for sharing that mouthful with us…Bono’s SO great, but he serves a Greater God and that’s what makes him so real, and so wonderful. Truth is truth no matter who speaks it, but the truth in the message is so much more receivable and has so much more power when spoken by one who walks in Love, no? Really beautiful speech. I wrestle too, with the question of what part will I play in being Hands and Feet to the hurting of the world, but you-you are already touching so many! Thanking my God for the Journeymama’s of the world today.
Tears, tears, tears. It’s easy to forget the hardships of the world when we live in our own little bubbles. Thanks for sharing this clip, I don’t know that I would have seen it otherwise.
“If we are with them, then God is with us.” – This is something that I’ll try to not ever let out of my mind. You should check out a video my brother in law made after taking a trip to Central America recently – it’s pretty motivating as well: http://www.thechindo.blogspot.com (it’s the most recent post)
What an amazing man with such a vision – and it’s all so true. Love thy Neighbour! Thanks for sharing this. It is something that people could miss and oh so important.

In Canada, Stephen Lewis who was Canada’s ambassador against AIDs has a organization that totally send money to combat AIDS. There are many others if you google them.
Thanks for sharing a wonderful and challenging message.
I just referred to your post on mine, and I may have been a bit too pushy on mine. But come on! Silence encourages complacency. So thanks, journeymama for opening this up and giving me the chutzpah to get down and dirty on poverty.
I love Bono. Thanks for sharing such in uplifting speech. I would have missing it otherwise.
Hey, de-lurking to send you good thoughts. Hope you are OK. We miss you.
[...] box too much with the blog. I don’t think it’s the right media to push an agenda. But JourneyMama’s post today inspired me to say a few words. There is so very much extreme poverty and injustice in the [...]
