priorities
a couple of years ago i was talking with a young man about the profession i tend to be lumped and lump myself into. during this conversatiion, i gleaned a piece of wisdom that has traveled with my since. he said, "you can tell where a person's priorities are by looking at that person's check book." wow. that can be haunting.
read this snipette below... and tell me how haunting the above statement is now.
what's wrong with this picture??? this is ugly.
i guess someone somewhere isn't retelling the proper message.

A 2001 Barna Research Group poll commissioned by World Vision revealed that evangelical Christians are significantly less likely than are non-Christians to give money for AIDS education and prevention programs worldwide. Only 3 percent of evangelicals say they plan to help with AIDS internationally, compared with 8 percent of non-Christians and 8 percent of self-described born-again Christians. Evangelicals were also the least likely to support children orphaned by AIDS.

Thought-provoking "snippette".
I'm curious what you meant at the end when you said, "i guess someone somewhere isn't retelling the proper message."
I have an sneaking suspicion that many people for a very long time have failed to retell the proper message.
I also think you can do a lot more with your actions than you can with your checkbook... especially if you're in college.
