As many of you know, I've sported the same haircut for the past 35 years. What better way to remedy this than to shave my head and start from scratch!
Seriously, I've had the privilege to working along side folks at Gordon County Department of Family and Children services for the past 11 years and have seen the tireless commitment to protect and care for the child victims of abuse and neglect. This is an extension of that spirit to provide help to the child victims of cancer through St. Baldrick's.
Many years ago when I was in seminary, my good friend Father Steve Hamilton and I volunteered at a children's hospital in the cancer unit. We experienced first hand the great spirit and hope these children had. We could do no more than clown around in our broken Italian to lift their spirits and admittedly we both received more from these courageous kids than we gave.
I would encourage you all to please contribute what you can to this worthy cause. Come out to Atlanta's best pub, The Harp on March 14th and join the fun!
