Poverty


June 9, 2005

I have been to Haiti twice now. I have seen object poverty. It haunts my soul and I remember the pictures in my mind often. I was moved the other night by an ABC news story (which doesn’t happen often) of Brad Pitt and his effort to fight not only poverty and hunger but also HIV/ AIDS in Africa. Now I know that I don’t agree with him on politics but this is greater than that. These are real people in a terrible situation that we can’t even imagin. U2’s music is awsome but I am constantly brought back to it because of the message it bring and also the message that Bono brings out side of it. Christians listen up, our feet are being put to the fire and we need act out what we call our faith. James calls faith with out actions useless. It is time to stand up and do something it about it. Go online and look up site that are giving you a way to step out and do something. I have two links on my blog now. One at the top left corner and one one on the left side a little ways down. Click on them and read the info on the and get involved. Also visit DATA this is Bono’s work and it is great there is a section called your action center and it is filled with all kinds of great resources and even resources to use in church. Check it out.
