"The
eyes are the window to the soul."
I believe that when
you look into the eyes of any child you can more easily see the light of God.
They've not yet been tainted and engrained with a lot of the misconceptions of
our world. I also believe that it takes a powerful spirit to deliver a
powerful message. This powerful spirit came to all of us in the form of a
very sick baby who had to fight hard to be here amongst the living.
His
given name is Duckenson. His new adoptive parents gave him the name, Isaiah
(which means “saved by the Lord.”)
Isaiah
was born on December 30, 2006. His father was killed by
street gangs. His mother is alive, but not able to feed
her children. Isaiah was handed down through some family
members and then taken to an orphanage on January 23rd,
2007.
He had many medical ups and downs and close calls, but he
survives. His adoptive parents placed an urgent call via
the internet for prayers for this baby and brought him to
our attention.

Isaiah reminds all of us that there are needs out there
that must be met. We have
to care for everyone on the planet. It is our
responsibility and our obligation. I do not believe
that there is any separation between any of us, no matter
how much money or fortunate circumstances one may have.
It does no good if we allow others to suffer needlessly.
On the island of Haiti, people are starving - children are starving. Hopefully, we will find ways to
make a difference no matter how small or trivial we feel
it might be.
We sell t-shirts here to help raise money for the
orphanage. That orphanage is the one and only safe
place for these children. To view the t-shirts, just
