the old hymn that was infrequently heard the past has been brought up into christian music once again. it can be heard on the new jars of clay cd. i also heard it at the audio a concert the other day. i like the song. people should know that we are christians by our love. we should be the most loving people on the face of the earth. i think christians can and do love really well. however, i think some of the people whom love best are not even christians.
the past few months with the tsunami i have seen people come together and help aid those areas affected. christians and non christians alike have stepped up to take care of those who could not help themselves. in this way i think the world is starting to unite in ways that have never been seen before. we focus on all the wars, the poverty, hunger rather than the good that is going on.
last night jenny and i watched "about schmidt" i love jack nicholson. the movie is about a guy who just retired, his wife suddenly dies and jack sponsors one of those children overseas. he writes to this child about all his life's problems. i wonder how many different places you can sponsor these children and how many childrens lives have been affected because of the money that comes in.
i am not sure what all of you are involved in, if you give money for a sponsored child in india, serve at a soup kitchen or even rake leaves for your next door neighbor. actively pursue a life of love. the book of james challenges us, jesus commanded us, now it is up to us.
