The inspiration came from Donna's story and the introduction by Dave Andrews. The challenge came in Donna's refrain to find your purpose.<br /><br />I have started reading "Ordianry Courgae" as my text for this Holy Week in the Christian Calendar. The book is more than a diary of courage. It is a pilgrim's journal that challenges the dominant cultural values of my Aussie heritage as a white male.<br /><br />Donna writes with the keen eye of a journalist tempered by the compassion of a heart formed in disciplined meditation.<br /><br />Ordinary Courage is not an easy read.
