Biblioburro

Now, if you're much of a linguist at all, you've cleverly discerned that the title of this post can be translated as "book donkey." And that's exactly what it is. I ran across a delightful story of a man in Colombia who hauls library books around on two donkeys (named Alfa and Beto) so that children can have the chance to read. You can watch a video about the Biblioburro below. Then, when you're finished watching, would you consider a couple of simple questions I've asked at the end of the post?

Of interest while watching: At 4:04, you understand that Luis Soriano's purposes are deep and intentional and altruistic, and at 4:55, you see his heart shine through.


Now isn't that fantastic? A simple passion, a simple - almost silly! - idea, and lives are changed. Wow. So, what is it that you love? What is it that you can do? How can you, out of simple love for Jesus and for people, enrich their lives and bring glory to God? It's the heart that counts; there's no need to do something shiny, flashy, loud or large - just strap some books on a donkey and get going!
