Our Fast for PA’s Vulnerable was featured in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer.
Our mission is daunting. I get strength from scripture. One of my favorites – especially when tired of pushing against seemingly immovable objects, are these timeless words of encouragement from the 30th Chapter of Isaiah:
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
-Isaiah 40: 28-31 NRSV
Keep both the Fast for PA’s Vulnerable and me in your prayers, friends. The Fast needs prayers and support. And I need your prayers, for I know the power of prayer to touch hearts and change lives.
I really appreciate the story. It always makes me at least a little uncomfortable to read about myself, or see myself on television. I am far from being a saint, and have always lived by the credo given my by one of my best friends, Steve Blakely: Never believe your own press clippings.
