Day 19

i don't pray. in fact, i don't remember the last time i earnestly sat down and prayed about anything. but something today made me cry and made me want to pray.

i see images of dying children on television everyday and yet i do nothing. it's almost as if i have become so used to seeing tragedies such as the situation in north korea and africa that i fail to actually see what is going on. if there is a god that loves us, then he surely is crying all the time at all of the suffering that these helpless children face on a constant basis. people don't suffer only when you or i think about them, but when we are sleeping and doing things like reading xangas. they suffer all the time. so i pray. i am writing about this because i want you to pray about the same thing, even if you are not one to pray like myself. in 2003, everyone should have blessings.

Contrary to Anna, I am still a pretty idealistic person. I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm pretty sure that we can make physical sacrifices that have tangible differences. For instance, look at how mutually rewarding Jacob's youth group leadership has been. He's somehow doing the whole med school thing and having a positive impact on these kids.

So, I guess, I am saying, it's all about what you chose to do. I've been upset with myself for not doing more. Thus, that's the one thing that I want to change this year.
