Genocide and chocolate cake!

I just finished watching Hotel Rwanda with my good friend Brian and my husband Jason. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKXHK74qLdg&feature=fvw

Afterwards, Brian and I were discussing how we are responsible to act after being brought to light on how people all over the world are suffering.................

Are you familiar with words like ETHNIC CLEANSING and GENOCIDE?
In the movie a reporter tells Paul, the hotel manager, after sending a video clip of genocide happening before his very eyes: They(the rest of the world) will turn on their TVs and see this video....they will pause and make a comment like oh,aw,wow....and then return to their evening meal.
I just finished watching this movie and now I am sitting here on my computer while eating mouthwatering chocolate cake that jason bought me.....WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME?

Sometimes I wonder how we can all exist in a world where on one side of the world is dying from starvation and experiencing genocide while on the other side of the world people are eating chocolate cake!

Lord God may your kingdom come! I don't want to live in a world were CHOCOLATE CAKE AND GENOCIDE exists together.

Lord help me to grow in my faith, so that I may share the good news with all that will hear. Lord give me eyes to see the needs of those around me everyday and also those on the other side of the world.....LORD give me courage and bravery to stand up for injustice and give me ways to help end poverty....in small and LARGE ways.

I am very much enjoying this 6weeks quest with BRIAN. I love drawing attention to some really hard material......but I want to take more action.

Sometime this week Brian and I are going to walk a mile with an empty bucket, fill up that bucket and walk a mile back......because did you know that contaminated water kills a child every 15 seconds......many people are over a mile from any source of water and even that water is ridden with parasites and used as a toilet, washing machine, and bathing pool.

I NEED TO WAKE UP to the needs of those around me. HELP me Lord. BREAK MY HEART FOR WHAT BREAKS YOURS.
