A RECESSION? - THE PEOPLE IN DARFUR ARE IN ONE - WE'RE NOT.

As I study the world, the bible and a whole host of other of my realities I often wonder how the world can be so unfair. For the last 12 months we have heard nothing but RECESSION AND DEPRESSION, two words so subjective that even the economists often seem tongue-tied when trying to sum it up.

One thing is for certain. There are people in Darfur DYING right now and we still have enough money to stop it. We still have enough money to feed everyone and most of us still have plenty to eat. So, the question we need to ask ourselves is - why are we all still locked in a self-pity depression and wake up to the fact that, even if we are going through hard times we must realize that most of the world struggle on a daily basis, in far worse conditions that we could ever fathom. Are they in a recession? Are they in a depression? Do we care?

We cannot continue to break the Humanity Law and expect to be compensated. Christians especially need to go to the bathroom and take a GOOD LOOK IN OUR MIRRORS because Jesus and God never wanted us to have 2 cars, 2 houses and a 401 K, at least they never mentioned such a thing in the Bible.
It did mention over and over -

'Do not Worry',
'Serve',
'those who want to save their lives would have to lose it'.

Anyway - 'To thy own self be true'.

AMEN!

However if you could elaborate your thoughts and include more bible quotes itd be an even more riveting read. But great start!
