Wake up

Every now and then I go through a period where my eyes are "re-opened" to everything going on in the world, and how many problems there are that nobody seems to care about, and how we are blissfully ignorant of what is going on as long as we have our own world secure around us. I get sick of the apathy and ignorance of our society and it's culture of greed, but even more so, I get sick with myself for allowing my mind and my focus to be overcome with this apathy and greed. I can't go out there and fix everything, but I can at least keep it in mind, help make others aware, and pray that God would open doors to resolve those problems.

On that note, here are a few links that I think everyone should be aware of:
http://www.abort73.com/
This site has some very intense images and descriptions of what exactly goes on with abortion, and exposes it for what it really is - murder.

The following two links deal with the same thing - redefining the way we celebrate Christmas, to align it more closely with what Jesus came to do:

http://www.adventconspiracy.org/

Furthermore, you can find tons of sites for organizations seeking to help all of the problems in Africa, such as hunger, water, child abuse, AIDs, etc. These are just a few from the top of my head:
http://www.feedjustone.org/
http://worldvision.org/
http://www.compassion.com/
http://www.invisiblechildren.com
http://www.bloodwatermission.com/

If you don't have money to donate to causes such as this, then at least pray and tell other people.
