I think the original context (not certain) was a comment related to her stance on abortion – but I think it is a fitting comment regarding how we live our lives relative to the condition of the world today. There is great need, and what am I doing here and now to do anything about it?
i am so inspired by your writing…i have just hit the “donate now” button at the AAI site….and am now sponsoring a child. thank you!
