questions.

why do i feel so inadequate and helpless right now in the face of haiti’s disaster?

how is it possible that i live a life of luxury, while millions of haitians strive to survive one day at a time?

why do i get so extremely frustrated with middle-class americans when i try to explain the differences in cultures and they don’t give a rip? why do i feel the urge to punch them in the neck?!?

why do i feel like my words are insufficient?

how can i speak for those who would otherwise have no voice at all?

how will the rescue center operate without its water source? how will it function?

why did god allow so many hurricanes and so much flooding? what is his purpose for this?

and why can’t i breathe out my right nostril?

more questions:

do you feel the same sense of urgency and compassion for your neighbors?

are natural disasters truly a part of God’s plan/will at all?

why are all our allergies so effin’ bad right now? (oh, i know, we must be out of favor with God )

…a bit of clarification, that first question is NOT loaded (like questions of its nature often are). Whatever the answer, it is COMPLETELY ok.

i’m ginger and, chances are, i like you.

i’m from nashville. but i live in downtown dallas now. i’m a daughter. friend. sister. believer. dreamer. lover of all things beautiful.

i spend much of my time editing books, which is my job. (don’t let the absence of uppercase fool you.) when i’m not at work, you can usually find me on a patio with some friends enjoying some nice wine and good conversation.

i long to make a positive impact in the world. one person at a time. and i hope that it begins with you.
