The First Post

Living in a world that each day seems to become more corrupt and distant than the day before, we see how far the human being has fallen from what we were created as in the beginning by God. At power positions in D.C. we have men and women who do not pay there taxes yet get to stay in power. As normal citizens we each would be punished severely for these non payments yet these men and women get cabinet positions.

We walk around society and the world with a moral compass that has a magnet taped to it. Is this what we were created for? To strive for big houses and big cars? To spend an outrageous amount of money on energy drinks so that we can keep up with our erratic pace of life. I do not believe this is what was intended for our lives, God did not create us to drink a couple of red bulls, work from 7 to 6, go by KFC pick up the family pack and then rush to our child's ballet recital. So many days we sit in our houses watch our 60" inch plasma and stare into a world were MLB baseball players turn down 25 million for a year. This is not what we were created for, this is why ad agencies were created, to read our thoughts and make us want the next big thing that we cant afford.

I believe that God had a different plan in mind when he created us, he created us to love one another, he created us and gave us opportunities so that we can take care of the less fortunate. Most places outside the US don't know what an ipod is, they don't know that you can have water coming in through your house without having a well. With the tough economic times ahead, this makes me step back and realize how truly blessed I am and how spoiled I have become. I throw away leftover food regularly and the majority of people who live in Cambodia work in the dump to find food and resources for there family. God has given us resources, in biblical days they also had resources and that is why Jesus preached to take care of the poor and widows, because this makes us realize and understand where we came from originally, Dirt in the Garden. It keeps us humble, it is a solemn lesson to understand how much God has truly blessed us.

To stare into a beggars eyes you see Jesus, for a beggar to stare into your eyes he also sees Jesus.
Amen
