The Invisible Children

The scenes won't be easy to forget. I believe they will stay with me for as long as I live. If you have not heard about this DVD, please check out the web site above. I am endebted to Bobby Garner for sharing it with me. I plan on sharing it with LOTS of folks.

Three young men went to Sudan to check out for themselves what was going on, and ended up in northern Uganda. They documented what 17 years of revolution can do to a country, especially a third-world nation. They didn't know what they would find when they got there....... in other words, there was no hidden agenda. This is not Hollywood, and it for sure is not for the faint of heart. It's real unedited footage of the carnage and the effect of anarchy caused by rebels who want to overthrow the govt. of Uganda. Mostly, it's about the children. Thousands and thousands of children, and it will tear your heart out. Knowing how Jesus felt about children, it makes me wonder how he will accept our turning a blind eye and ear to their cries for help. I think I already know. You do too.

But hey, lets keep arguing over IDENTITY issues. That's what will make a difference in the lives of these precious children! Yeah, I went into default mode. Maybe for once I was justified.

I am not sure who Hell is going to be hotter for.......those who caused this, or those who stood around allowing it to continue. The ONLY way you and I are NOT guilty is if there is NOTHING that we can do. And you know that is not true. Of course we can pray.........but we can do more than that. I plan on sending some funds to help out, how about you? Maybe some of you can write your people in Congress. Maybe you know somebody involved with the UN. Just do SOMETHING!

And they'll know we are Christians by our............love. Not any other substitute. Not by the sign on our door, or by our worship style or other traditions. Just love.
