On my way back from New York City this past Sunday, I was listening to the NCAA men's tournament.  In the last minute of the Clemson vs. Baylor game, the announcer exclaimed, "There is exhaustion, there is dejection, there is hope."  I'm pretty sure during my ride across the country this summer, I'll feel all of those.  I know during the past 20 years of trying to address and decrease poverty, I have experienced exhaustion, dejection, and hope.
