Just goes to show you that conventional wisdom is just that, conventional.

People would like to see a great awaking in America. Who wouldn’t. Can our view as Americans be so myopic that the rest world only comes into the picture when we are national comfort is at stake? This article was an eye opener.

BTW - my mind is still reeling from Dan’s sermon. For example, I received two emails today, one from World Vision, one from ProForm treadmills. At first, I had no issue in valuing the treadmill over the famine ridden people. Then it occured to me I was willing to spend $500 on close-out treadmill because it was a good deal, but was not willing to give $20 to the famine cause because I didn’t what a free Third Day Christmas CD. Now I just feel icky.
