For some reason the event triggered the more somber side of me. As I would look at Anna standing there wearing her Ethiopian dress in all of her beauty, I found myself also seeing the face of a child I saw in the paper from her area of Ethiopia that was suffering from malnutrition from the famine. I could not stop reflecting on how on the same day that we were dedicating Anna, there were other children from her town that would die. On what should normally have been a joyous day, I found myself saying, "God have mercy on the children of Ethiopia."

Do I hear another trip coming?
Your daughter is beautiful. I loved seeing her in her dress.
Your posts are always beautifully written. I love that you have a heart for Ethiopia.
I wish that you were blogging for the Red Letter Campaign. We would all benefit from reading your blog.
