People do care...

..about the wrong things.

People care about things that do not matter. I hear so many people who will argue until their death about sports, music, and movies. What we wear does not matter. We should be thankful to have food and clothing at all. God has blessed us, but we would rather complain to each other and argue with each other than join in praising him for supplying out needs. I am fed up with myself for not caring about what matters.

I am tired of hearing who you like and dislike in football.

I am tired of caring about what I am wearing.

I am the guilty party.

16,000 children die of hunger-relatd causes every day. That's 1 child every 5 seconds.

Slavery is the fastest growing global crime, and we talk about it like it is a thing of the past.

Iggnorance is not an acceptable excuse.

Why don't we care? Why are we more concerned with buying the latest cd? or getting a new jacket when we already have seven? Why aren't we doing everything we can to feed people who are hungry?

One time in Atlanta my friends were talking to a homeless man and he said, "You can't go wrong feeding people."

Why can't we get that?

I am typing this on a computer. I am in a room with an HD television and a Playstation 3. I need to care more.

WE need to care more.

WE are the body of Christ.

WE THE CHURCH

I have friends that get it. I want to get it. I thank God for allowing me to see it. I pray he allows me to hold on to that thought.

Jesus showed us how to live. Love whoever we are around. Feed the hungry. Love the unlovable. Offer hope to the hopeless.

God cares.

We should, too.
