Whew! I can't believe almost a month has passed since I last posted. It hasn't been for lack of action, for sure, as our Lost and Found in America organization is starting to take shape. A new website is due to launch this week. David Riordan has accepted the role of Executive Director and we are working on our arrangement with Normand as Key Speaker of the organization. One of the things I want to be able to provide in this organization is an opportunity for young people to get involved. We need to find a way to get the film out to the college circuit - an amazing transformation could occur if the message of hope and respect can get out to our young people.
In a phone call last weekend with Alan Graham, the courageous leader of Austin-based Mobile Loaves and Fishes, he made an amazing observation. He said in our society, there is so much segregation within our communities along the lines of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation and economics. But down on the street, among the homeless, circumstance does not discriminate. When our leaders, both secular and non-secular, can stand together and pledge their support for and love of ALL people, regardless of their background and socio-economic status, then we will truly have peace in the world. For our part, it starts at the community level, one life at a time.
Be on the lookout for Lost and Found in America at www.lafia.org soon!
