Darfur
Lately it has been brought to my attention that many people do not know about the genocide going on in Darfur. How is that? It is just like the Holocaust or Rwanda. People hear but they do not want to believe. So what do they do? Nothing. They live their normal day to day lives. Forgetting that their brothers and sisters are across the globe getting killed, burned, raped, and tortured. In this present day how can we just stand by? Why will the UN not go into Sudan? Why is it so hard to get it to stop, when they so easily started? I fear that the most important question I ask myself as I ponder this in all of its darkness, is why is God allowing this to happen? I can't answer this question. I don't understand, and even if God enlightened me, I would not be able to comprehend. Such a horrible thing is happening. The news won't fully cover it. So many people don't know. So many won't believe the images and stories they see and hear. What is going on in our world? Where is the compassion? Where is our hearts? Why does it seem we can't do anything? I pray for answers. I pray for a way to help. Why is it that there is so much wrong with our world, but when it doesn't affect people directly they think about how good they have it, and then forget about the trouble going on? What is going on? I don't understand. God give me enlightening on what to do......

Oh Alli, your heart is so big, and I appreciate this post a lot. You are right, if we aren't caring or maybe just too overwhelmed to do anything, than why aren't we at least praying against it? we should all have the burden to intercede for them/world, and actually think about somebody else besides our self-focused world. (talking to myself too on this one, for sure)
