"...orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names.
They are easier to ignore before you see their faces.
It is easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them
in your arms.
But once you do, everything changes."

Oh how TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE it! I,too, will borrow this qoute for my FB status. I would post it on my blog but we all know I am only a year behind on it!! Such a SLACKER, I am.
I am reading his book now and enjoying it so much. I really enjoyed visiting his church too. There were huge pictures of poverty, homeless, orphans hanging all over the church with statistics. The stage was a recreation of the slums of India. You could just tell that they were very mission minded. You need to visit your family in Decatur and we can all go visit his church together:)
Love this quote!!!! Might have to borrow it at some point. :)
*EXACTLY!* That's why we could no longer ignore our boys.....faces, names, kids....only asking for a mom and a dad. We knew too much, we knew too personally. We HAVE to get our boys HOME!!!
Lori, I'm reading this book too and love it! I'm only a little way into it but it seems like I've highlighted everything I've read :)
