I hope that God forgive us, all of us sinners

Turn us back into beginners
Put us up where the winners go
Holy apartments in the gardens in which the rivers flow
Thank you for all your blessings and all of your miracles
-Lupe Fiasco, "Fighters"

I came across an article and video clip today about the Louis D Brown Peace Institute. Apparently, their budget was severely impacted by the state's latest budget cuts. I have previously written about the Peace Institute and my admiration for the its mission. I've participated in their Mother's Day Walk for Peace several times. Coincidentally, I had a conversation during lunch today that made me think of my all-time favorite movie scene. It's a scene that leaves me very humbled and emotional every time I watch it. It's very similar to the feeling I get when I hug Tina Chery. If you happen to be in a generous mood, please feel free to swing by the fundraiser at Blarney Stone tonight from 7-9pm that the good folks from H. Levenbaum Real Estate are throwing. I'm about to make my donation. Here are a few more links if you'd like to contribute as well.
