On Friday Steph had to take her grandma to the airport for her flight to Florida. Her father, who is a police officer, drove them. They left at six in the morning. Grandma always flies on JetBlue, but for some reason her son in Florida booked the trip on Spirit Air.

The first 35 minutes completely arrested my attention and transported me back to all the time I spent in Rome and Assisi, as well as all the places that St. Francis loved throughout Umbria and Tuscany.

My faith feels about as fragile as the egg my friend was about to cook. Often during the day, my faith is scrambled by the things I see, the pain so many endure. Sure, I suppose faith plays role in what I am doing (with the help of so many Americans and Haitians), but another factor is the reality that the kids have entered deeply into my heart.
