We are all precious;

His desire is to give hope to the hopeless, give bread to the hungry, give love to the unloved, and give life to those who feel there is nothing left.

There is always something left.

A long time ago, a friend that was very near and dear to my heart asked me a question, "What is a soul?"

I argued with him that it was the very being of who we are, what makes you that unique human being, different, yet the same from everyone else. He said that is our personality, and he was right. I was wrong.

It is more than just a person's personality. It is what makes a human, live. It is literally our LIFE! It is what separates us from animals, it separates us from Earth. It is immaterial, yet essential to life. Scientists try to put all of what we're made of (Carbon atoms, water molecules and everything in-between) in a test tube, and what do they get?

It's not life. You can't create something without a soul. That's why cloning experiments go wrong. You can create things that don't have souls, such as animals, but not humans. Perhaps parts of humans, but nothing fully in its right to be a human.

A soul is something that aches for more, that wants to be loved, and wants to love. It wants to feel special in its own way, and be loved in spite of mistakes it makes. A soul is always searching, always wondering about things. Its that part of you that makes you wonder what happens after you die, what happens after you have a baby, what happens when you grow old, what happens when you fall in love, WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

Our desire is to give hope to the hopeless, give bread to the hungry, give love to the unloved, and give life to those who feel there is nothing left.
