“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it up carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket – safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable… The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers… of love is hell.” – C.S.

But then, you look closer and see people DIGGING through it, people sitting in make-shift shacks amongst it all. Or then, you walk up to this enormous pile of rotted food, bloody meat that look like they just came from a slaughter house. It was absolutely disgusting. Cow carcasses, bones, bloody, rotting meat — and they had to stand and dig through this to look for plastic bottles. . . . → Read More: Two Hours at the Dump While we were in Choluteca, we bought out the inventory of Manualidades. We have all sorts of bags, purses and kitchen linens, ranging in price from $5 to $25. Most purses and bags are $18. So if you’re in Columbia, stop by Middlebush Auditorium on Saturday at 7:07 and pick up something special hand-made by the ladies of Manualidades, benefitting Casa Hogar Vida. . . . → Read More: Manualidades On Sale @ The Rock “Bien” — This is Love. One minute you’re in the friendly confines of an upper-middle class hotel, and the next you’re staring poverty and all its friends in the face. It’s humbling and heart-breaking. You’ve seen the pictures on TV and seen the infomercials about helping feed a starving child for only $.10 a day, but you don’t really believe what you’re seeing can be real. You can’t fathom such devastation when you’ve only known of luxury. . . . → Read More: “Bien” — This is Love |
