Hi.... again. actually yesterday i was going to write a heart-warming thing about faith and the kids in africa and all of that because yesterday was bring your kid to work day and i went to world vision with my mom. but i never got around to it. i find it sad how in america where people think they have everything (such as ipods, the latest fashion, etc) and yet so few people believe in God. and yet the kids in africa and other parts of the world who watch their parents die of aids and they themselves go without food and education among other things and yet in most world vision videos you see them thanking God for each new day. you see people who have almost 'nothing' go to church every sunday to worship God. america was founded by bible-believing christians and based on christian principles. the founding fathers envisioned a government that would promote and encourage christianity and yet so few people today believe in God. even one of my favorite teachers said a few years ago that our founding fathers were not christians. they were deists, atheist, and agnostic. why is it that many of my good friends in school do not believe in God? why is it that now when there is swine flu, aids, among other catostrphic things happening and they want to take God's name out of the pledge of allegence? this country is moving farther and farther away from the basis of where it started. why is it that americans think they have 'everything' and yet not know or believe in God. how is it that they witness miracles and the ugly beauty of this world and not see God's fingerprints on everything? if only us christians would unite together we could change the world. there is so many bad things that are happening and so little hope. In the bible it says "Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, 'Why could we not cast it out?' He said to them, 'Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:19-20) And that is the saying i am leaving you with to ponder over and over again until i come back sometime in the near future and again entertain you with another peice of my mind.
