We have got some mountains to move. Three billion people - half of God's children - are living on less than $2 a day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have three billion people, half the world's population today, living on less than two dollars a day.
I think we're miserable partly because we have only one god, and that's economics.
If money is not maintained, it can collapse like a bridge along Interstate 5 and fixing it, even with determined politicians, will take ages, during which time God only knows how much human damage will occur.
It's so easy to settle for less than God's best for us because we don't always feel like taking responsibility for our behavior or putting forth some effort to do what we need to do so we can accomplish great things for God and help people. But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God's will.
We spend millions of dollars per year supplying more than adequate meals and a Koran to every detainee along with a prayer rug that meets their religious standards.
Hundreds of millions of human beings on our planet increasingly suffer from unemployment, poverty, hunger, and the destruction of their families.
To ask a country with 750 million people living on less than a dollar a day to optimize their development for the environment as opposed to getting food in the mouths of these people and giving them a decent lifestyle, that's just a little bit too much to ask.
Generosity has built America. When we fail to invest in children, we have to pay the cost.
Train our children to love God.
And help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.
