who cares?
all of a sudden I got really inspired, or rather my heart was moved a great deal. go to one.org . I wear the white braclet now. It's a petition to get governments to forgive third-world debt and fight AIDS.
I wish I cared more about a lot of things. Indifference is so powerful. God revealed to me at bible school that indiffernce is one of the N. American churches biggest sin and problems. Well I guess you can count me in. Indifference takes no effort and feels comfortable, it's convenient and doesn't disturb your neighbors. How American. It always seems that God doesn't take kindly to people who just don't care about what happens.
Now there are things that really don't require an opinion or concern, but the things that probably should pique our interest are generally the things that get shrugged off. Other people's well being, being disiplined, our own well-being, giving honor and glory to God when it's actually due, etc. . Well, ironically, my indifference is starting to bother me. How funny.
I wished I cared a lot more about things..........................again.

damned spam comments, they shatter my excitment
I agree.. and always ruin a great post.
thanks jason. good reminder. i find myself often becoming indifferent about my indifference and then i just don't think about it at all.
man, you said it. it feeds off itself and breeds to others when we don't notice. then a whole swarth of people don't care and so on.... looks like a road to sodom and gamora to me, no? maybe thats a little too extreme, but then look at what happens the more permisive we get. OH WELL!!
I hope you get that joke
the thing always gets me, is that i really DO CARE really intensely about things - for example darfur right now, is a damn genocide, some say worse than the holocaust, but it is seemingly going to take it getting far far far worse until we step in - EXACTLY what happened with the holocaust and cost so many lives. and so many people say how we must never forget what happened tot he jews, must never repeat the mistakes, but it is HAPPENEING RIGHT NOW. anyway, see i was getting riled up. what REALLY gets me is that i can care so much about it, but then thereis in reality so little i can do. or at least i feel that way, it may not be true. i get bogged down by the government not acting, and my own inability to affect things (may not be true but i buy into it) that that is when indifference sets in. like it becomes to big a hillt o climb to change it, to save the people, that i just dont bother. so i am a bit amazed at those heading up charities and things who have that VISION, i have indifference once i see hard work involved. sinful me.
i see a lot of people wearing these bracelets and can't wondering if they really do care, or if they are just following another trend.
good to kno that YOU care jason.
caring is critical. it is after all the first step towards change.
you said it!!
