	ChivalrousDave™CanIBeYourMemory?Be Back Soon David Lefler	I went to Africa once And I went to the poorest communities and it's a shocker what makes little kids happy. You know I passed out the Samaritans Purse in Africa.. (The church christmas shoebox thing) And some of the guys had to get girl gifts because there were not enough boy gifts. Well This one little kid got a bunch of barbies and such. And he was showing me and like all sad about the TOYS. And then he pulls out three things. Wash clothe, tooth paste, and a toothbrush. I have NEVER seen anyone light up so much. And he said. But this I like, I like. And he was the happiest little kid I've ever seen. It just goes to show what the world is really like in A LOT of places. Poverty isn't the minority. It's the majority in MANY places. Just keep that in mind when u cry to your parents cause you didn't get the new iphone for christmas.   Posted by ChivalrousDave™CanIBeYourMemory?Be Back Soon on Monday, August 24, 2009 - 3:09 PM [Reply to this]

	Kari♥☮	So very true. I pray all our eyes our opened to the injustice around us. I won't lie I can be selfish sometimes & I hate it, and I wish we weren't like that. It's sad how we have everything & some have nothing. Nice usage of the Hillsong "Hosanna" lyrics, that is my favorite part, and I always pray that. :)   Posted by Kari♥☮ on Monday, August 24, 2009 - 3:22 PM [Reply to this]

	stephanie.	I am surprissed to see the lack of comments on this blog. You seem so well spoken, intelegent, and enlightened.  Just from reading these simple words, I have become inspired, when the fact is, I never thought much about the subject. With ..your.. eyes being opened, ..I.. can see the world of those less fortunate than I, and so I thank you. Keep inspiring.   Posted by stephanie. on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 - 11:32 PM [Reply to this]

	Taylor the Sailor Taylor Lawler	..It really is an eye opener. It's hard to complain when you didn't get something you want, knowing some people don't get what they need.

	Lizzie	That is amazing, Carter. I can't believe I never bothered to comment on this blog. I've read it, but failed to comment. It's sad how we (as in the people who have so much) can think to little about the rest of the world. We always need the new thing. We thrive on attention, and inanimate objects. We can't find true happiness. Have you heard the statistic that the poorest people in the world are also the happiest? It's because despite the fact that they have so little, they are so thankful for what they have. The scarcity of items forces these people to come together, and experience each other, and become true to themselves. For us, such fortunate people, these items are actually pulling us apart. We become so involved and wrapped up in these items, that we forget about what is important in life. Darfur is a place that needs help. I've raised over 4,000 dollars for Darfur, and now, I am the VP in a Darfur Club at my school. Sorry, I kinda rambled on about poor people and happy people. That was off topic. x) But anyways, I am very proud of you and anyone else who participated in saving Darfur.   Posted by Lizzie on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 5:04 AM [Reply to this]

	taylor Taylor Alexandra	i love the last part,..we should feel stupid for complaining that we cant get "that" shirt, "that" car, "that" house, or "that" boy or girl....because people around the globe not just africa in our own country are in great poverty, live on the streets, and cant even afford to feed there 10 month old baby,....the church is supposed to help these people,....if we didnt over-do or lives by getting the nicest house, car ect. we wouldnt be so blind-eyed to those around us,....i guess my question is:....what would you do if you found out your brother, sister, or 10 month old child was on a rainy street or alley crying from traumatic experiences, physical and emotional hurt, or hunger?....would you walk into that store and complain because you cant buy that one shirt you wanted?.... ..   Posted by taylor on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - 5:58 PM [Reply to this]
