Tunisia Revisited

Almost 5 years ago I traveled with a group from college to Tunisia, a country that has sparked political change across North Africa recently. I’m not much of a world traveler (in fact this is the only time I’ve been outside of the country), but I can distinctively remember those glimpses of a world I’d come to love and admire. Dozens of children casually walking to school, the hustle and bustle of the souk, the kindness of local 20-somethings dragging us around town on foot to show us the best dining in town (and believe me, there was no shortage of eats).

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much I want to be involved with helping meet people’s needs. Loving people seems to be one of the most difficult things to do in this world, yet is the most rudimentary task given by Jesus. I hope these longings are for a purpose as my heart grows and yearns to do the most basic of requests.

So don’t forget the least of these. We are called to care for the unlovable and downtrodden. You never know who you may be caring for when you do this simple act.

    Hey man,
    I hope this doesn’t put any undo pressure on you when I say what I’m about to say, but when I look at your work, it reminds me so much of magnum photographers. You’ve got an amazing eye and heart for photographs. Keep up the awesome work.
