One thing that I feel that has really been on my mind recently is how I can make a difference and help people in need in the world. Mr. Monroe has reminded me that we as christians are called to help the poor, the widows and the orphans, we are to offer help to anyone who needs it. It's not only about spreading the news of what is to come in the next life, but bring as much of heaven as we can here on earth. I recently went to www.one.org to check out what they were all about. All they want is your name added to thier list, they arent asking for your time or money. I want to share with you the statement that they want you to sign your name to: “WE BELIEVE that in the best American tradition of helping others help themselves, now is the time to join with other countries in a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest people of the world overcome AIDS and extreme poverty. WE RECOGNIZE that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruption and directing additional resources for basic needs – education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans – would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries, at a cost equal to just one percent more of the US budget. WE COMMIT ourselves - one person, one voice, one vote at a time - to make a better, safer world for all.” I encourage you that if you agree and support that statement that you go to www.one.org and sign your name to that list. They also have bracelets available if you want to make a donation and if any of you would like a bracelet, let me know, and I will get one for you and send it to you. I encourage you all to show support for some sort of world economic reformation, and remember, all it takes is One Voice.
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

If you want to go one step further without using up much time or any money, Follow these easy steps:
1. Dial 1-877-HOPE-USA. You will hear a special message from Ashley Judd.
2. Enter your zip code
3. Select which Congressional representative you would like to speak with
4. When the operator answers, say the following:
“Hello, I’m calling from __ (your city and state) _ to leave a message about Global AIDS funding. I support $3.1 Billion for Global AIDS Programs. Please support the Senate version of the appropriations bill. This level of funding will ensure that the Global Fund to Fight AIDS and President Bush’s AIDS initiative save as many lives as possible. Thank you for taking my call.”
This is a quick easy way to activly show our government that we are serious about providing help to those around the world who need it. (You can even select to call the white house and leave your message there)
John I have to admit that last statement freaked me out a little bit... one world economic reformation... that's end times prophesy being fulfilled.
MAybe I should have been more specific. I am not hoping for or encouraging a one world government, or economic society, I was calling for help to reform certian governments that hope no hope in maintaining a stable economy.
