Today


As I am sitting on my bed watching the news about Obama and Hillary and the gas prices being record high, again, I realize that Americans really need to know who Jesus is. Not because of "where America is headed" but because in all this news broadcasting it is so evident that Americans are selfish people. We are selfish! Who cares that Madonna is getting a divorce when there are children in the world who have never seen a TV. Do you really care what celebrity is having another child? Or what athlete is in jail again for suspected drug use? There are people in the world who do not have running water. Instead of making Americans aware and motivated to fix that problem, we would much rather hear about the drama going on in someones life. Let me tell you...living without running water, sufficient medical personnel, and food IS dramatic! I want to challenge anyone who reads this to get off your butt and do something to help. Instead of going on a family vacation, go on a mission trip. Open your eyes America...we are the only country who lives the way we do. There are more poor countries than rich ones. Christians...SHOW the love that Christ showed you! Stop being passive and having this mind set that someone else will do it. Remember the Grace that God showed you by saving you and tell that to someone.
