We just had a worship observance of World AIDS Day.

December 2, 2008

We just had a worship observance of World AIDS Day in our church chapel. I was scarcely attended. This is an issue that impacts all of us, though some may not be aware that it does.

We had a couple share their personal story of adopting 2 boys from Ethiopia. The first boy was healthy. Some years later, they felt led to adopt another child, and specifically an AIDS orphan. This was a bold step! You may read her blog at 4blessed.blogspot.com.

After the remembrance service ended, a friend rushed to me and said, “Next year, we must have more pepople here, and fill up the sanctuary; I’m head of social action, and I’m gonna make sure it happens!”

I like that! It’s about all of us making a concerted effort to do something. As I lit my candle, my prayer is that we see a cure for HIV/AIDS in my lifetime.

Peace out, D
