Ok, I'm back home now after a three day conference in New Hampshire (actually, the conference is still going on but I'm back now). I would say I'm even more committed to making a difference. I owe my life to serve, just like those 17-24 year old kids who committed a year (or two) of their lives to service.

I'm reading Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. I would say Mortenson's story of commitment to help build schools in the most remote places of the world makes me feel humbled and very small. I don't know how much I can measure the change I can make in my lifetime but I know as much I will.

- peace
