Frannie was twelve when she asked her parents, “So much of our homework and projects have to be done on computers, and a lot of the people can’t afford them. How can they do it?”

The follow up question was, “What can we do to help?” And E2D (Eliminate the Digital Divide) was born, providing computers and Internet service to families that would otherwise be unable to afford them.

When the “spirit of the Lord” is upon us, it becomes our responsibility to bring the good news to those who have less, who are held back, whose hearts are broken. We live out our joy for God’s love by sharing that joy with others, particularly those cast aside by the world. That means we have to pay attention, ask difficult questions, and be creative in using our gifts. Joy isn’t always expressed in dancing and shouts of praise; sometimes our faithful response to the gifts of Jesus’ life is rolling up our sleeves and getting to work.
