Suubi means hope in Ugandan

Andy Griffith did an episode once where he was forced to admit that he had misjudged someone. At the end of the show Opie asked him, "What are you gonna eat for supper Pa?" Andy replied, "I reckon I'm eat'en crow."

That is what I'm doing today except my meal is humble pie. Last night the Ugandan Children's Choir sang at my church. They were beautiful, so enthusiastic, energetic, a joy to watch. The woman who brought them here to perform  said that they live in an orphanage with more than 500 other children on one quarter acre of land.

I am humbled and you should be too. I have complained about my circumstances. I have electricity, working restrooms, plenty of food, more books than I can read, temperature control, a pest free environment, personal transportation, and room to roam. I name these specific things because this is what they do not have.

If you would like to learn more about these children go to www.suubi.net
