Or even worse, they simply don't care. I can't explain why. I feel so joyful when I get to help someone, yet most people around us don't give a damn about the others. When things go wrong or seem unfair, I just try not to give up on my faith, because I know the Lord has plans. Just don't give in Jason! Well, yeah, the world sucks.

When things go wrong or seem unfair, I just try not to give up on my faith, because I know the Lord has plans.

Just don’t give in Jason!

Think about it: Mother Theresa, Shane Claiborne, other saints have refused to be bound by an ethic that begins with the assumption that things are running out. Instead, we Christians are called to live by the promise of abundance: there will be enough. Man- it's tough to be faced with injustice, especially when it's almost impossible not to contribute to it in some way or another. It's also never a bad idea to open yourself to the idea of being radically transformed... living a life different than the one you, or the world, imagines. Be God's instrument, and teach others how to be God's too, but don't try to do the saving yourself. It's already been done by Someone more capable than you. ;-) Thank God we aren’t forced to live by the rule of this world!

There is alot of bad in this world but you have to be careful not to focus too much on just the bad you might overlook all the good, This world is based on wealth, aways has been, probally always will be, it will be extremely difficult, almost impossible to change, we all have to work to insure our own spot on the totem pole sure it would be nice to be able to pull the people lower than you up however everybody can`t fit on top, all we can do is live our lives to our full potential and help other people the best you can along the way, there are plenty of people that need a hand. love ya, take care of yourself.

You are coming face to face with real life on the streets. That is a completly different world you are in right now. Remember, you are there for a reason, learn what you can, do what you can and share what is in your heart. Be safe! Jason, keep the faith! You are coming face to face with real life on the streets. That is a completly different world you are in right now. Remember, you are there for a reason, learn what you can, do what you can and share what is in your heart. Be safe!
