| The Red Cross and the Orphanage |
| Published: June 16, 2008, 11:45 am |
| An important part of my mission in Lebanon was to obtain a defibrillator for the Red Cross station in Deir El-Kamar. Theirs was no longer useable, and they needed this important piece of equipment to serve the thousands of people in the surrounding area. The hospital is almost an hour's drive away and lives could be lost without a defibrillator. I |

| The Smell of Sin |
| Published: June 16, 2008, 11:07 am |
| About fifteen years ago I attended a mission at an area Catholic Church, St. Jean Baptiste. The speaker was a priest from India, Father Santan Pinto. He told a story that I never forgot. It is appropriate here because it relates to the complaint that I have heard time and time again about Karim, "Something smells on him. Why does he smell so? |

| How I Found Karim |
| Published: June 14, 2008, 10:14 am |
| Upon our return to Lebanon, I was very saddened by the condition of Karim. Physically, his feet and hands are very dry, crusty, cracked and scabby. The fissures in his feet are as bad as when we first encountered him here in the U.S. last July. He cannot walk at all because of the pain. The itching is incredibly bad, too, although that isn't any |

| After a long day of working, I went back to my room, trying to get a rest before Mass. I checked the debit and credit, what we have and what we ought to pay, a lot, but I need to focus on one thing now. Just before I closed my eyes, I talked to the Lord saying: "Please Lord, help me pay this amount." And I slept. After that, I woke up and had |
