You Raise Me Up

Whenever I become disillusioned with the goings on in the Anglican Communion and the homophobic attacks of the local Diocese, I can always be uplifted by seeing a post from Maithri. He always displays what Christian Love is all about.
His latest post is well worth visiting.
I was brought up to believe that Evangelicals had the real Truth. I found teaching work in a Catholic school and my eyes were opened. The De La Salle Brothers and other visiting priests also had a handle on the truth and certainly displayed more Christian Love. 'You Raise Me Up' was a song we sang often during my years teaching at Benilde College.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

Email hoaxes

I have just received an email from a dear friend with whom I use to work. It is not the first time a concerned, loving but naive friend had sent me one of those emails about some poor child (graphic photos) suffering some disease with the message that AOL or some other company will donate 15 - 32 cents for each email forwarded.
They make me see red and I look up Snopes to prove they are false.
I hate telling my dear friends they have been hoaxed but feel such messages must be stopped where possible.
Having sent the message to her, I then found Maithri's latest post about a little girl, Zama, who has suffered terrible physical and emotional injuries in Swaziland and the way he has been able to help. I sent the link to my friend saying this was real and hopefully she would pass that on. Maithri and all those like him are true candidates for sainthood. Hopefully people may send him or other real charities a few dollars rather than clog the intertubes with useless emails.
My favourite is Medecins Sans Frontieres.
