people at work today were talking about how americas getting ready for another depression... i hope not, but i was working and not really listening and then some guy named john clark said something about africa. i turned my head and he was like YEAH when i was in the army i was out in africa serving our country and you wanna talk about poor look at those savages! they're so F****** hungry but what do they do to help them selfs! all they do is f*** and fight with one another! everytime i went through a small town and see the flys land on the kids i would bust up laughing! ... ... i couldnt stand it anymore and i just went off... i told him its not the womens fault the soldiers rape them and its not the kids faults theirs war everyday taking place! its not their fault they dont have food like we do. its not their fault they weren't blessed like we are! he just sat there and said... i dont care what you say... this is how i feel. but yeah... long story short he kept pressing the issue on to me later and was saying how its stupid celebrities are helping out kids in other countries and adopting them when we have kids in america who are poor and cant feed them selfs... which is true but... idk just people make me mad...
i really want to go to africa... experience it for myself...
Psalm 9:18
But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.

forget that fool! sounds like he didnt have very much interaction! whatever he did in the army, it didn't deal with people! He has no idea what he was talking about... I understand it made you mad, and I probably would have busted his mouth, but also understand that people in the military are trained to follow orders, and when you start making every assignment personal, it will destroy you. You tend to become harsh and abrasive toward suffering, as a mechanism to deal with the crap you see on a daily basis. Just by his ignorant comment about kids in the US, it shows you how uneducated he is. Sure, there are plenty of kids in the US that need a good home, but what makes those kids anymore worthy of having a good home, then say, an orphan in another country? Truth be told, NONE! There is no difference! That's one thing about America, we tend to look inwards. I understand that sentiment though, because I used to think like that. Don't let someone who served in the Army and now works at Domino's get to you, there's something to be said about that! lol!!! Awesome blog, and way to stand up for the cause of Christ!! I'm proud of you man!!
