The ipod is always on in our house (especially with a son who likes to listen to music when he goes to sleep). This morning the song "Albertine" by Brooke Fraser came on and I wanted to share it because it is an inspiring and beautiful song with a very important meaning. Albertine was a girl in Rwanda who Brooke met when she was doing aid work there in 2005. Brooke also met the man who rescued Albertine in the genocide of 1994. Before the man introduced Brooke to Albertine he said "You have to go back to your people and write a song and tell them about us here in Rwanda". And that is exactly what Brooke did.
Every time I hear the lyrics to this song I am reminded of the fact that words without actions are meaningless. Or as Brooke so eloquently puts it, "Faith without deeds is dead".....
