“spirtually and passionately alive”
Interesting insight from the blog of a Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala:
The neighbor’s daughter had been held hostage with two other men, two houses down. Wtf…It’s actually not a house, but a bodega where they store all kinds of mercaderia (food stuffs, I’m assuming) and some men came in and tied them up and put guns to their heads until they got all the money they wanted out of them. For 3 hours.
My comadre has always been scared of the dark. We bond over that but since I’m the adult, I try to calm him down. I tell him to repeat “todo lo puedo en Cristo, que el me fortalece.” Sound familiar? And he does. And it makes me feel better. But seriously, we have more to be afraid of now. It keeps getting closer and closer to home. Todo lo puedo en Cristo que El me fortalace.
