This beautiful painting of St. Francis Of Assisi hangs in the hallway outside the chapel in St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, Florida.....I have always loved this painting!
St. Francis holds a special place in my heart!
Stories abound of how St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) could communicate with animals and felt at one with all creation.
Every year on the Sunday nearest his October 4 feast day, Catholic and other Christian churches around the world host services where animals are blessed. These services are a powerful way to celebrate both Francis's and God's compassionate concern for all creatures.
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who deal likewise with their fellow men."

Old San Juan Alcoholic and homeless that people put gifts near him on Holy Week. I do not know if they do all year long. Next morning he had some more food at his feet, and he does not see who puts it there.
Souvenons nous " lorsque l'horreur frappe, c'est toujours le ceour qu'elle vise le premier" ( Yasmina Kahdra). A chaque fois c'est le coeur de notre humanité qui est meurtri et à chaque fois nous voulons croire que la haine et la mort ne seront pas victorieux et nous nous relevons pour continuer à bâtir ensemble un monde que nous souhaitons plus juste, plus aimant et plus solidaire.
I was witness to a true act of compassion today. The old man in the photos was panhandling in the freezing cold when suddenly a girl approached him and after a brief conversation gave him a bag full of winter clothing (Jacket, scarf, etc.). The old man was speechless and so was I watching this. She wished him well and after a warm goodbye, left. It was a touching scene to see. It made my heart warmer to know people like her still exist. People who care and offer hope to all of us, in so many levels.

We are bound and imprisoned in a web of rumor and contentiousness, where obvious falsehoods are acceptable, and honor is unimportant. Can we rise above, or is this the dystopian future for all of us, where entropy rules? I can hope for a brighter tomorrow...but it is very hard.

I decided to take time off from my job today and go take some photos. I spent the whole day driving around getting shots of birds, flowers and people. On the way home I ran across this stranger at the corner of Crystal Hill Road and Interstate 40. When I saw him and his sign I realized he didn't have a job to take time off from. While I have all I need and there is nothing I "must have" he isn't so lucky. My wife made me pull over and give him five dollars.She's like that but for some reason I didn't mind.
I know there may be some who don't feel this way and I respect that. For me, however, that's the way I am. Have a great weekend.

Sam came from Zimbabwe to Zambia for his graduation as a pastor. What should have been a festive occasion became something else when his young son tripped over a pan with boiling water. The poor boy is in hospital with serious burns on his legs, and probably will have to stay for another two weeks. If you can, pray for this family!
