The audience and I have an intimacy that is, I believe, rare, most times out.
There is a marvelous story of a man who once stood before God, his heart breaking from the pain and injustice in the world. "Dear God. " he cried out, "look at all the suffering, the anguish and distress in your world. Why don't you send help?" God responded,"I did send help. I sent you. " When we tell our children that story, we must tell them that each one of them was sent to help repair the broken world-and that it is not the task of an instant or of a year, but of a lifetime.
