Justice

Justice seems to be the topic of conversation lately. Steve Fredlund, of Our Response, says that justice is restoring "order". Seeing the poverty, the slavery, the disease...it goes on and on...it's all outside the order this world was intended to know. Bob Goff, of Restore International, says that justice is the responsibility of "just us". It's not someone else's job...it's ours. And, together, we CAN bring order back.

And I'm becoming more and more convinced...and sensing the urgency...that we can really make the world a better place. The richness of divine love tells me so...

One of the biggest obstacles to the full establishment of justice is the pettiness of our entitled culture. We'd prefer to bicker about everything...demand agreement...put people down for thinking differently...RATHER than change the world. I don't know...it really bothers me. Why??...people continue to suffer because others have the right to live little stories based entirely on their rights to be arrogant bastards. (Oops...I get a little wound up...)

So, I stumbled on this song today. It's a call to get involved with returning justice to the 27 million men, women and children suffering in the human trafficking trade.

Best thing I have read on-line in a long time. Thanks for your passion for justice and getting "wound up"... it's nice to know there is still passion out there!
