Darfur - It's much more than a hippy cause

As I sit here in my comfortable chair, listening to myself get fatter, creating this blog entry on my companies time, contemplating the insanity and boredom that comes from looking at Excel documents and cubical walls, I can't help but to also think of all the people who have and are currently being uprooted from their homes as well as those who have and are currently dying horrible deaths in Darfur. Men, women and children have been viciously murdered without the slightest regard for any human rights. Little precious, innocent babies, are being slaughtered due to this conflict.

Our government is not helping like it should. We, as American's are not helping like we should. We as Christians are not helping like we should. The church in American has enough money to make this problem disappear, but we'd rather spend our money on huge buildings and gas for our Hummers (brought to us, in part, by Sudanese oil companies. Yes, the same Sudanese that are causing these atrocities!). It's royally F*CKED UP.

If you don't know about Darfur or understand what's going on there, click HERE for brief description, compliments of http://www.savedarfur.org/. If you can, give some money to them, say a prayer, join a group, or support someone who is willing to go and help.

We will be judged, by our children and every future generation, for what we do right now...
