Burma

There are so many bad things happening in the world, and here is yet another. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the bad and don't want to think about it anymore. Sometimes I give in to the temptation to just ignore any problems occurring outside my own little world. Then I realize what I'm doing. I'm ignoring injustice. I'm not standing up for the poor, the orphans and the widows, I'm just standing aside to let the wicked trample all over them. As one who calls myself a follower of Christ, should I not follow his lead? In the days of television and internet, I have no excuse to be uninformed and silent.
If you have not heard about what is going on in Burma, please find time to read this article.
