WORLD AIDS DAY. Take a Moment.

Take a moment today to remember all of the people you knew who died from AIDS. Do you remember the first time you heard that word? AIDS.

It was the gay disease and many just shrugged their shoulders with, "...made your bed now lie in it," until you heard of a child who had it, then heterosexuals, babies, people all over the world---no one was safe. Another ugly blemish on our history, when we turned away from those who were suffering, those who needed our compassion. I'll never forget those first years. Horrible.

Take a moment.
