"...How The Angels Came To Congo..."

My friend Georgianne Nienaber wrote a lovely Christmas story, titled "A True Tale of How Angels Came to Congo This Christmas", which you may read at The Huffington Post. Georgianne loves the poor and suffering people of Congo with a passion that moves her into action to help relieve the misery of at least a few of the vast number of those who live in the midst of misery and poverty that is unimaginable to most of us.

I have a copy of the CD Congo's Angels by a fine group of musicians, which I enjoy quite a lot.

Women singers, songwriters, and poets join a global initiative to raise awareness about violence against 200,000 women and children in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

If you like, you can listen to the songs and purchase the album at the link.

The image above, of the guardian angel, is one of my favorites. It may be mushy and sentimental, but the picture had its place in many of the classrooms in my Roman Catholic elementary school, and, as a child, I found great comfort in the image. I believed that a guardian angel watched over me. In my heart of hearts, I still believe in guardian angels.
