Super Reality Tour

I've waited to thank you for Saturday's super Reality Tour until our JustFaith group had met to "process it," because I wanted to give you their responses. I wish you could've been a fly on the wall. They were SO moved by everything: especially the dignity of the folks living in poverty, and the grace of those serving them. People mentioned as especially touching them: the smell & dampness of inside the subway; the photos covering sr. Grace's walls; CW's testimony; the guys cozily hanging out in the living room there; the frustrated passion of the social worker who had just resigned because she couldn't do her job properly; inside the PPU hyporthermia bus... Even during the rest of our JustFaith meeting, they kept referring back to examples from their Reality Tour experience; and I'm sure they'll continue to do so.

I'm aware of how incredibly much work goes into organizing the Tour and making it run so smoothly. And you are my all-time favorite MC: I love your unique combination of passion, knowledge, and humor.
