In 2007, I participated in an event hosted by Invisible Children called Displace Me.
Sadly, it is now 2012, and the problems in Uganda remain.
This issue has been recently highlighted by the viral video Kony 2012.
Our pastor has shared the following story on a few occasions:
You see lots of injured people in the river. Some in your group will try to get the people out of the water and bring them to land and tend to their injuries. This impulse is compassion. Some in your group will want to go up river and find out who is harming these people and throwing them in to water and stop these people. This impulse is justice.
Lord, may compassion and justice be done in this situation.
Rambling about soccer: LA Galaxy, IF Elfsborg, Falkenbergs FF, Liverpool FC, Queens Park Rangers, and LAFC. Also random rambling about Star Trek, LA sports (Dodgers, UCLA, Kings, Lakers, Rams), politics (centrist), faith (Christian), and life. Send comments to rrblog[at]yahoo[dot]com.
