today i am 29 and i am so very fortunate.
Two Sundays ago our pastor gave a sermon about the spiritual disciplines of frugality and sacrifice. He showed us the very brilliant advent conspiracy video and proceeded to admit that he had become very comfortable with his American lifestyle.
Last Sunday, Jill Briscoe spoke to us about missions and what she has seen recently in the world.
i think i wept through the entire sermon.
NPR tells me everyday of world events, both catastrophic and ordinary. And I think, there must be a better way.
I remember reading a snippet about how change has always come from small, disadvantaged, minority groups. These fringes of society have literally been catalysts for periods of significant change in our history.
I don't really know where i am going with this, but i just wanted to write it down...
and i want to be that person.
Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.”
~Book of Matthew
