Vision Post - Food for the Hungry

Vision Post

Over the past six years, I have been to over 45 countries, some of which are the hardest places on the face of earth; places like Darfur, Sudan, places wracked with suffering and circumstances that are difficult for anyone to comprehend, especially those of us blessed with so much. As I process what I have seen, and who I have met during my times in the field, I often put these experiences in writing.

Myanmar / China - "Grace Flows"

VisionPost Blog - Fh.org/VisionPost Folks, My heart continues to go out to the people who have lost so much both in Myanmar and in the quake zone of south central China. Lost loved ones. Lost homes. Lives and livelihoods in shambles. The force of both of the Asia emergencies, the cyclone and the seismic activity, has thrown so many families and children down to a point that is lower than low.

The real West Wing

Mea culpa

VisionPost Blog - Fh.org/VisionPost If you have been looking for blog entries from me across the last year or so, you will have come up empty. So sorry about that. Mea culpa. I was on a roll for a short span of time, covering some meetings and trips as part of my service on the congressionally mandated HELP Commission ( www.HELPCommission.gov ). The trouble was that the Commission's work reached a heightened level of activity throughout 2007. Then, the Commission, as we deliberated on our findings and recommendations, moved into a required "cone of silence." We needed a confidential period as we finalized the report.
