Changes....
As you can see, I've added some "badges" to my blog (the Childrens Hope Chest, AHOPE, and Red Letters badges on the right side of the page). I have been going through a major (I hope) life and soul change. Through reading "Red Letters", and "The Hole in Our Gospel", my eyes have been opened to the daily atrocities that happen in our world, and I've been FORCED TO PAY ATTENTION. "The Hole..." isn't a blasphemous book, contrary to some reactions elicited by Christians I know. I would sincerely, from my the bottom of my soul, encourage you to read both of these books. AND DO SOMETHING. It only takes one person to start a revolution. (And, if nothing else the proceeds of Red Letters feeds an orphan for a month, and those of "The Hole..." go to World Vision {it is written by their CEO, Richard Stearns}. ) But I warn you, prepare to have your world rocked. America ISN'T all their is. We have to get out of that mindset. And make a difference.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Time is running out for so many of "the least of these". We can't afford to waste another minute toying with the idea of doing something. By the end of the day 26,000 people will have died because we aren't doing anything. Don't know about anyone else, but it makes it awfully hard to lay my head on my pillow at night and sleep peacefully.
I am in the middle of this book and I am curious about the negative/ blasphemous reactions you have heard. I haven't heard anything but positive about it.
Kristin, I only meant reactions about the title. My mil flipped her lid when she read it, thinking it was about something completely different. Otherwise, I have heard MANY good things about it, and it has really changed the way I think, etc.
:) Oh right- yeah I do remember hearing something about how people were all up in arms about the title and then read it and loved it!
