wow, i just now realized how sheltered i am from the world
i'm living, teaching, worshiping in this same building. my days are mostly silent (well, just lack of real conv.) because of the language thing, and i just saw that there was this huge earthquake killing thousands of people. i usually don't miss these kinds of things, i usually try to keep up with what is going on in the world. even here in japan life is so comfortable. people here (like at home) don't know what a hard life is like. they think if they work 5 full days they are too busy to do anything. they think if they have to help out with their children's families and watch their grandkids, they are too busy to have a life. man, friends, fellow readers, don't let me ever take this life for granted. i came here for a reason. not really to teach english. to save souls. and yet, i'm not the one who saves souls. really i can't do anything to make people understand this Jesus that takes me to the other side of the world.
i see why in Haiti the people have such an easy time accepting Christ. At least hope in something is better than nothing. ahhhhhhhhrrrg, i can't even put into words these thoughts. in the sermon this morning, pastor talked about how every minute, 17 people die of hunger and most of them are children. of all the food japan imports 1/3 of the food is eaten by the people and 2/3 is given to animals or thrown away. the world has enough food, but that's not the problem! it's arrogance, selfishness, pride. this is why people are dying everyday of hunger and not just physical hunger. people are going to hell because people like us won't tell them. arrrrrgggg this isn't coming out right, ummmmm, oh well.
