Revival

Today I went to a meeting at the hospital for all the volunteers. They were talking about their building projects and plans for the future. There are some amazing things going on in the Heartside District, and St. Mary's is totally on board. They are updating their buildings and facilities - combining technology and art to maximize healing. 
The transition that is affecting me most is their new ER department. Most of our patients that we see in ER can barely afford the health care they receive there. What I find amazing is that St. Mary's is going through great means to offer this demographic and community the very best health care available, and giving these people means to truly heal despite their economic situation. 
As I was driving home I was looking around the city at the new life and revival that seems to be evident all over, especially in the Heartside District. It is amazing to see ministry, art, and relief for the less fortunate all inter depending on one another. It is a revival of community that is gaining speed and can only become stronger throughout the next couple years.
