Inspired.

Yesterday was the ten-year anniversary of 9/11. It also happened to be the day that Love146 came to my new church, Calvary Fellowship.

Maybe it was the new-mom hormones, or the memories that I have of the Love146 partnership trip that so easily rise up again, or the fact that yesterday was bound to be a raw day for all Americans, but I alternated between crying and beaming throughout Rob's entire talk.

I was thrilled to see that Calvary taped and has made Rob's message available online. I can't encourage you enough to hear it for yourself.

How appropriate, on the anniversary of a day that brought so much sorrow, to be inspired to look forward with such audacious hope:

"I believe in a God who brings beauty from ashes. And the crazy, insane thing of it all is that he uses people like us to do it." - Rob Morris

I'm looking forward to meeting the future abolitionists who will rise up in the Hartford area over the next year as a result of this first step.

P.S. It was the highlight of my week to see you again, Rob and Matt!
