This is just beautiful, and all the more so because it was written by a seventeen-year-old.<br /><br />I was also seventeen in 1963, and I most wanted to join the Peace Corps. I too so wish I had.PattiKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894925987580502697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-37705913187756804052010-12-14T06:35:43.898-08:002010-12-14T06:35:43.898-08:00Isn't is sad, as we celebrate, so many people ...Isn't is sad, as we celebrate, so many people go hungry.

Hearts that feel for the down trodden, the gay-bashed, the mistreated, both children and animals, have to stand up, to speak out.<br /><br />The little fellow in the photo breaks my heart. But you inspired me last week - when I have some money I am going to buy a cow for the family of a little fellow just like that.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-39241212899219841392010-12-13T18:44:19.549-08:002010-12-13T18:44:19.549-08:00Sherry, the image was heartbreaking and speaks to ...Sherry, the image was heartbreaking and speaks to the true meaning of Christmas. Not just one day a year. Not just your family and friends. Not just when it's convenient.<br /><br />If you really follow the message of Jesus, you have to work hard, go places you aren't comfortable, speak truth to power, speak up when people who assume you're "in their country club" (because you're the 48th white person in the room) use racial epithets, step into a circle of kids who are taunting the gay student and make them back off, protect an old vet who's defending the Bush Iraq war at a peace rally. You have to step up, stand up. Otherwise, Christmas is just another holiday with sales and presents and whatever.<br /><br />All those years ago, and you were writing this brilliantly. The years have not mellowed you, Sherry - they have made you stronger. I value that.<br /><br />Amy Barlow Liberatore (Sharp Little Pencil)Amy Barlow Liberatorehttp://sharplittlepencil.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-56596368793727600222010-12-13T10:19:53.053-08:002010-12-13T10:19:53.053-08:00Sherry
