This weekend, as I listened to orphaned girls from Moldova speak of growing up without heat, or clothes of their own, or anybody to give them even an encouraging word, I couldn’t help but marvel at both the resiliency of the human spirit and the power of hope. But later, as I pondered so many of our own young people, who have grown up with many advantages, yet struggle with depression, addiction, self-mutilation and even suicide, I couldn’t help but wonder at the poverty of our affluence.
