So first off i don't think i should eat anymore!! lol this book makes me realize how American I really am, and how much our culture takes everything for granted. We are a very very unthankful and selfish nation, a day after claiming to be "thankful" how do we celebrate our thankfulness. We go out and trample people to death so we can get the latest toys and comforts. Very ironic!
But anyways that's not what i wanted to write about, that was me saying that I have been thinking a lot about the poor and the needy while reading this book. :) And I have found it very interesting and am realizing how little I have truly thought about what the Bible says about the poor. I thought chapter 3 was especially interesting and was going to see what you guys thoughts were?
I thought it was a very interesting picture the author painted when giving all the passages about the poor and oppressed and how God saves them from the oppression and then opposes the rich and so I was thinking where does that put us as a Nation?

Sorry I didn't write my name at the bottom of the post. It was me!! Brother Caleb :)
Thanks Caleb!
I think our nation is becoming another statistic - the richer we've become the more we've neglecting the people on the fringe - the poor, the disabled, the children and single parents, and the elderly. God promises consequences when we lose our first love. He is also ready with His grace to forgive and restore. Let's stay hopeful in Christ redeeming each one of us and "bloom" we're God has planted us for today. God, who do you want me to reach out to today with your love?
