heartache

More and more, my thoughts keep going back to Romania. Its been over a year, but my heart is still breaking over the kids there. Over the children beaten every day, treated like animals. The babies in the hospital being ignored and left to fend for themselves. Eros, the baby I held in my hands...that might not be alive right now. The kids abandoned because the parent's can't afford (or don't want to spend) the money or time it will take for their chemotherapy or medications.

It's not an isolated problem. Its prevalent in many countries. The spiritual darkness that people live in is what creates these situations. The harvest is plenty but the workers are few. Why do Christians leave it up to emergency aide organizations to take care of the "big problems"?

Like, the flooding in India. The sex trade in Asia, the AIDS pandemic, the drug trade in South America, the poverty all over the world?

sigh.

Now...how to stop talking about it and start being a mover and a shaker of the body of Christ today...
