alongside the film City of God, under special features, is an amzaing documentary on life in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. I stand amazed and changed after watching the film twice yesterday.

The on going war between the police and dealers in completely heartwrenching. The injustice the accompanies both sides and all who are caught in the middle is inhumane. What might you see if view this documentary...go find it. May it break your heart and cause you take up the cause of those who suffer much at our (the rich) hands. America is a monster....reality local is no reality at all when held agaisnt reality global...what have we done? When will I wake up?

lord break out hearts for the world...may our consumerism make us mad...and cause to see reality and live for the sake of others...for your sake...

-off to Portland for 3 days...PNW district conference...
