This is a blog about my life. It is nothing special, because I am nothing special. I am only a disciple of Christ, who tries to serve Him the best I can day by day, and so if you see anything here that you find impressive, exciting, or different, I ask you to give the glory to my Father, Jesus.

Thoughts I've had this morning

The average annual cost of one person's AIDS medication in Africa is $1000.00
Every year over 500,000 African children are orphaned because their parents die of AIDS

I saw a chart in my sociology book of the annual incomes of the highest paid CEOs in America. The guy at the BOTTOM of that list makes $45 million a year.
That's 45,000 people that could get medication, that could live another year. How many children could that save from being orphaned?

What would happen in America if suddenly all the suddenly all the shit we buy couldn't be made anymore and we had to get by with what was left?

    but you can't be happy without stuff!
    and since stuff lasts longer than the eternal souls of those children and parents, the choice is obvious.

    i don't know what would happen, but in some ways i think it would be awesome. in other ways i think it would cause riots.
