Barb is the real deal

Today was a gray day, sort of what you expect in an Illinois winter. Tonight a light dusting of  snow. I am thinking about my wonderful wife who has had a great career helping thousands of people with her medical knowledge and experience. She excelled in emergency and intensive care for over 20 years. She was excellent in setting up a clinic in Africa and in home health. For the last 12 years she has cared for kids with severe disabilities many of which are life threatening. She also helped set up a week of handicap camp that still carries on over 35 years. Is there a greater service then caring for those who can't care for themselves.

In James 1:27 it tells a pure religion is one that cares for widows and orphans. Barb has done this all of her adult life. In the last two year an administrator has come who is very toxic and has run the place into the ground. What is sad are the kids who won't receive the services they need for their survival. Many good qualified people have been forced to leave. Leadership is noticed when their is none. Leaders who toot their own horn but are themselves an empty shell can destroy many things. Who gets hurt the most orphans (severely handicap). Barb is a contrast by her skilled and caring ways. It is a no brainer, I will walk with Barb, keep walking.
