Somebody from Somewhere - Ella Fitzgerald
William Fitzsimmons Finding Home (Tour Version)
I greeted 2011 with exhaustion and frustration. I did my best to make it through each day. But 2012 is a new year in so many ways. I have a new job. I’m starting to dream again—dreams for my life and dreams for my community.
I don’t really make resolutions, but I’m working on putting together a list of goals for this year…
Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, New York City, 1948.
Probably one of my favorite pictures. So unbelievably classic.

I believe that if ignorance is bliss then awareness is binding. Ignorance generates a good amount of attention while awareness for some reason generates little action. Enveloped by information, there is very little that happens in the world that we do not have the ability to learn about. Thus, many of us are quite informed of the nefarious actions and conditions of humanity. An American unaware of the existence of poverty or HIV/AIDS would be shocking. An American aware of these ills and not taking action? That would be status quo.

A warm welcome. :)
Thanks for your prayers. I survived my first day with only minimal coughing.

Hillsong United - Devotion
When You stand, the tall tress and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
I was listening to Pandora this evening when this song came on. This gets me every single time. I must pause in awe of God.
