Impressions by Lori Carroll

Last night (July 31st) we had a rehearsal of the music we’ll perform with American and Kosovar kids. Because the power had gone out were in candle light. As the accompanist, I was playing a small portable keyboard with nearly-gone batteries. Every note I played sounded like a cough!

Then I looked up at the singers faces as they sang, "Shepard me, O God, beyond my fears, beyond my wants, from death in to life!" Every kid's face was involved and all eyes watched Ric as if their lives depended on it. And I thought, "THIS is world peace."

Then I couldn’t see the faces anymore for my tears. How can people kill each other?
