Thanks for checking out my journal. What you will find here will be the unfolding of my vision of a world without hunger. Every post will be different, but the underlying theme will be constant. I want to create a world where hunger is just a memory. I want such a world because it is right. I want such a world because it is possible. And, I want such a world because achieving it will create a spiritual explosion that will rock the entire universe. 

It’s another hot, humid afternoon in Raleigh, NC and the work continues apace here at the offices of Stop Hunger Now. Every member of our small staff seems to have more to do than time in which to get it done. That is not unusual for most nonprofit groups and is especially true for relief organizations such as ours.

What is exciting to me is that even with the unrelenting heat and the backlog of work, everyone has a smile on their face and laughter is commonplace. We have a good staff, it’s true, and everyone does have a good attitude. But the smiles and laughter come from deeper within than just a positive attitude.

The Stop Hunger Now staff feels good about the efforts we are making to change the world. We know that we are playing an important role in ending the tragedy of world hunger. And even when the heat and workload threatens to overwhelm us (which sometimes happens) we find a real joy in working together with so many fine folks who have joined with us to end hunger in our lifetime. There is a deep and lasting satisfaction that comes from being part of a movement that is helping feed millions of starving children.

If you haven’t joined with us to help end hunger, well, I pray you will consider doing so. Working together we can turn my vision of a world without hunger into reality. If each of us will simply do a little it will add up to an amazing amount on behalf of so many that live in such desperate need.
