Today, red ribbons are being worn all around the world to symbolize humanity's fight against the viral killer, HIV. It's a celebratory day - a day to cheer at humanity's ability to combat every awful disease we've been hit with, in optimism that we will overcome AIDS as well.
The way that we overcome is to care, together. We've heard it a thousand times, but it doesn't stop us from needing to hear it again. One person helps in one tiny way, and it makes a difference. All of us help as best as we can, and it changes the world. Together, we will overcome this.
So I'm asking you to contribute somehow. Volunteer your time at a shelter. Hand out condoms and clean needles. Be a volunteer teaching abstinence in schools. Donate to a good cause. Write your MP about keeping InSite open. Make friends with someone who is HIV positive and stand by them.
Because, you see, the fact that AIDS deaths are decreasing because of increasing awareness, is part of the Good News. God is at work in this world, and today, you get the chance to see how.
