(A reflection on Hos 11:8 and Mt 10:7-15)
This morning I find myself back in Appalachia volunteering with Hand in Hand Ministries, preparing to serve those less fortunate than me. I will be working today to make Sam’s house more livable. But, my real job will be to mercifully bring God’s healing power of love and understanding to help set him free of his weariness and isolation.
“Lord, as I work at Sam’s house today, lead me in your merciful ways; overwhelm my heart and stir my pity; and, as you told your disciples, ‘Without cost you have received’, so, without cost let me give of myself.”

Hi Norm, thank you. We had a wonderful trip! We returned home Saturday evening. There were 14 of us and half were rookies. Everyone received so much more than we gave. I think all want to make it again, possibly next year.
