Something to think about:
TODAY...
over 35,000 children will starve to death
1.3 billion people live in absolute poverty (under $1 a day)
the average US citizen will consume the same amount as 520 Ethiopians
the US will use over 43% of the worlds resources with less than 6% of the world's population
the richest 20% of the world have 83% of the world's stuff
the poorest 20% of the world have 1.4% of the world's stuff
358 people own the same assets as 45% of the world's poorest
"It's a living book, this life; it folds out in a million settings, cast with a billion beautiful characters, and it is almost over for you. It doesn't matter how old you are; it is coming to a close quickly, and soon the credits will roll... You begin to mourn its ending, and want to pace yourself slowly toward its closure, knowing the last lines will speak of something beautiful, of the end of something long and earned, and you hope the thing closes out like last breaths, like whispers about how much and who the characters have come to love, and how authentic the sentiments feel when they have earned a hundred pages of qualification." - Donald Miller
"I would that I were made new, the scars on my belly undo, and the blood that I have in my veins could be mine and not stranger unnamed. Because I once was perfect as you, pink-skinned and full flaming youth. As the wind on the terrible sea, as a pillar of ivory. With six angels at my back - Two to sing, Two to pray, Two to bear my soul away. I would that I were made new..." Luxury
"We took the twine we used to use to tie up tight our tattered shoes, twisted twigs and crooked cross - a necklace for the deeply lost. Builder with the broken bricks, Mother to the baby chicks. You made this world to look so nice, I wonder what the next one's like? Yellow spider, yellow leaf, confirms my deepest held belief." mewithoutyou
