I’ve got so many things running through my head and heart right now, that I’m finding it hard to nail just one down for a blog post.
Tomorrow I will be at one of our support groups for people living with H.I.V. I’m supposed to be talking to everyone about hope, not sure what I will or can say right now.
Will I talk about the hope of the resurrection? Hope of a cure? Hope in a vaccine? Hope that the world will actually care?
Hope that the poor inflicted with H.I.V. will be treated as brothers and sisters, because Jesus said so. Hope that the world will actually commit to helping those with H.I.V. even when Bono is not looking?
I’m not sure. All I can do, and all that Ben, Ali, Virginia, Kate, Lonnie and Pauline, can do is to keep loving one person at a time. I truly believe we can eradicate poverty and disease by loving and assisting one person at a time.
