Healing and

22When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses,
they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
Luke 2:22

The practice of forgiveness is our
most important contribution to the healing of the world.
                            ~ Marianne Williamson

 

 

One cannot tell when he is going to be healed,
so do not try to set an exact time limit.
Faith, not time, will determine
when the cure will be effected.

Ashley is taking a year off from Harvard and just returned from 
teaching at the Maasai Girls' School in Tanzania for the
last semester. Ashley started raising money for the girls in Tanzania after
she and her parents visited there ten years ago, when Ashley
was eleven.  Since then, she has spearheaded a fundraising drive (with
some help from Rotary and others) that has netted $250,000!!!

You can read more about her on her Africaid website:

Ben, his wife, and their four children have been called to
live and work in Tanzania for six months next year.

convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
