Actually, it's Day 3

Today was the last day of our time at the school in Managua. I came here with the lofty idea that I had blessings to give these children. However, they are the ones with so much to offer. They are smart, funny, energetic and just amazing. In fact, I am the one who has been blessed beyond measure by these little lights.
What is most amazing to me is the fact that these kids are throw-aways. I can't understand how these kids can be ignored. Wayne and Elaine are doing a phenominal job at Escuela Christiana Oasis de Esperanza. They are educating a new generation of warriors. I'm not a socialist by any means, but the government here has failed the people and so have we as the Church.
I don't know what you're doing right now, but if you ask me (and you did, didn't you?) you should find a way to get some supplies or money or your butt down here.
"Not me" you say? I say, "Who, then?"
If we can't help even the least of these, then what good are we to the kingdom of God? That's right-I said it. Tell me what good? I didn't want to preach or lecture, but our level of assistance as the richest "Christian" people in the world is pitiful. I meant pathetic. I'm also at fault. We all are. I hear you now..."We can't save everybody". Oh YES, we can!! We have never tried because we are too fat, lazy, slothful, confortable and selfish. I'm going to throw arrogant in here too, because I'm talking to myself also. Sorry if this offends you (not really), but I need to be offended and so do you. Don't want to come to Central America? In Amarillo, there are people living under overpasses downtown by Faith City Mission. I know because I drive past them every day and thank God that I'm not one of them. Can you get downtown for a while and speak to them? Pray with them? Feed or clothe them? I'm dead serious. Can you? More to the point-WILL YOU?

I'll try to make the next post happier, but I can't promise anything.

Father, give us your heart for ALL people, regardless of who they are. Show us how you love them as much as you love us. Open our hearts to you and your desire for us to be your hands and feet.
