Rev. LaDonna's Question of the Week: What is your DREAM?

What is your dream, what is your hope, what is your inspiration? If you were empowered to do and/be a certain something in the world what would it be? If you could be anywhere in the world, doing and being your dream, where would it be?

As for me, I'd be right here every morning at the Durban, South Africa sunrise over the Indian Ocean before I would start the day with Faith in Action and plan South Africa-US bridgebuilding trips and experiences. I write this today from snowy Chicago as we are preparing for the South Africa mission. And I realize that this right now, right here, writing this message, inviting partners to join us on the World AIDS Day Solidarity Mission to South Africa (see below), this is the dream, unfolding itself right now. To meet with each of you, to have shared together with you in the past--THIS too is the dream. Building bridges across the waters and bringing people together from different backgrounds and corners of the Earth to make a big difference locally and globally. This is my dream. Meeting the morning sunrise at the Indian Ocean next month, this is my dream. What about you? What is your dream? Share with us if it moves you to do so. Either way, take moments today to breathe, see, and remember your dream. Read on and join us as we live into the possibilities.
